About Sherly Raymond, LMFT
Perimenopause & Menopause Coaching for Women 35+
Hi, I’m Sherly, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Growing Stages Marriage and Family Therapy, PLLC, based in New York, NY.
I specialize in helping women 35+ navigate the emotional and relational shifts of perimenopause and menopause.
Because here’s the truth: midlife can hit hard. One minute, you feel grounded. Next, you’re overwhelmed, irritated, anxious, or questioning everything. Your patience is thinner. Your relationships feel strained. You may not even recognize yourself.
You’re not broken. You’re in transition. And this season deserves real support.
Why I Focus on Midlife Women
With over a decade of clinical experience working with women and couples in New York, NY, and virtually nationwide, I saw the same pattern again and again:
Capable, high-functioning women in their late 30s, 40s, and early 50s are struggling with mood swings, anxiety, anger, and identity shifts, often without anyone connecting it to perimenopause. So I chose to specialize in it. Today, I blend evidence-based therapy with practical coaching strategies to help women understand what’s happening hormonally and emotionally, and regain stability and clarity.
What I Help With
I support women experiencing:
-
Mood swings and irritability
-
Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
-
Midlife identity shifts
-
Relationship tension
-
Burnout and self-doubt
I also work with couples navigating the strain perimenopause can place on communication and connection.
If you’ve read my article on mood swings during perimenopause, you already know, this isn’t “just stress.” It’s a real transition that deserves informed support. You can also explore:
