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.
