Nobody warned you about this.

Entering the transition of menopause often brings an unexpected challenge: Feeling unfamiliar with your body.

You miss the energy you used to have or feel like you're trying to act normal while you hide the sudden changes in your body from the people around you.

At Kindred Counseling, I focus on the lived experience of this change. We'll have honest conversations to help you get through this uncomfortable time and find the strength to make the right choices for you. If you’ve been searching for support for menopause in Blaine, MN, I provide a space where your symptoms are taken seriously and addressed with real solutions.

Let’s find what you need to be yourself again.

Menopause doesn’t just bring one or two symptoms, it brings a long list of them all at once.

The mood swings and irritability that make you feel like you’re losing your mind. The fatigue that no amount of sleep fixes. Hot flashes, weight changes, low libido, anxiety, depression, and loss of confidence. This is a lot to manage alone.

Together, we’ll discuss what’s happening in your body and build a plan to address each one. You’ll regain the confidence to manage these changes and start to feel like yourself again.

Hello!

I’m April Williamson, MA, LMFT,

I know what it’s like to wake up one day and realize your body and mind feel completely foreign to you.

There’s nothing worse than having your symptoms dismissed, when they are literally controlling your life.

That’s why I do this work. I’ve spent years working with clients navigating major, disruptive life changes, and I learned that they feel unheard when it comes to managing these changes, they need someone who can relate, and provide ways to help.

How we'll manage menopause anxiety and depression

Understanding what's happening in your body.

We’ll use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to determine how symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, insomnia, low libido and weight changes are impacting your thoughts and your mood, helping you build confidence by knowing what is going on in your body, and how to seek treatment.

Calming your system

We’ll use mindfulness practices to quiet your nervous system when you’re feeling overwhelmed, whether it’s anxiety, irritability, uncertainty or just the exhaustion of dealing with so many changes at once.

Building trust in therapy

I approach my clients with humility and curiosity. You are the expert on your own body and what you’ve been living through. I provide a place where you can be honest and feel respected.

Reclaiming your life during menopause

Imagine waking up without the fear of what symptoms are going to show up today, and how you’ll have to pretend to be okay. Imagine going through your day knowing that you have the tools to handle the situation.

My goal is to help you stop feeling insecure and start feeling stronger. You’ve been trying to push through this change by yourself and you’re exhausted. Together we’ll figure out how to get you through to the other side.

Stop trying to manage your symptoms alone
