Anxiety and Depression
Women experience anxiety and depression at higher rates than men, often shaped by hormonal shifts, reproductive transitions, caregiving roles, work demands, and relationship dynamics.
At Era Psychotherapy, we provide evidence-based therapy for women navigating anxiety and depression across life stages.

How Therapy Helps
Anxiety and depression often overlap, particularly during major life transitions such as trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, career changes, or relationship stress.
Our approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Treatment may include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior; EMDR when anxiety or depression is connected to unresolved trauma; skills for emotional regulation and stress management; and support in navigating relational and identity shifts.
