Meet Melissa
Therapist, mother, partner, biohacker, and perimenopausing as we speak.
Melissa Monahan, M.A., LMHC
I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in supporting women in the complex “middle space” of life—balancing aging parents, growing kids, perimenopause, late-diagnosed ADHD, and the emotional weight of decades of resilience. My background in neuro-pharmaceutical research informs the brain-based, trauma-informed therapies I use, including EMDR and Internal Family Systems. I help women understand their nervous systems, repair attachment wounds, and reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve had to neglect while caring for everyone else. At midlife, so many women feel stretched, unseen, or overwhelmed by changes they never prepared for. My work centers on helping women feel grounded, empowered, and more at home in themselves as they navigate this powerful, transitional stage.
