PMDD Group Support
Feeling hopeless and out of control? Emotions during your cycle impacting your career, family, relationship, and general life? You are not alone.
We offer Group Therapy and DBT-focused Psychoeducation for Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), Premenstrual exacerbation (PME) and severe PMS.
Who Should Attend?
This program is for anyone who has PMDD, PME, severe PMS, or suspects they may have either.
If you struggle with PMS, you may suspect you have PMDD or something similar. You do not need an official diagnosis to be part of our group (some women report gaining an official diagnosis may be difficult from their primary care physician). Join us, as we explore our condition in a collaborative and safe space.
