In today's episode I interview Dr. Julie Rashkis about mental health and perimenopause. We talk about the cognitive and mood issues that are common during this time and what you can do if you are struggling.
Dr. Julie Rashkis is a clinical psychologist with nearly two decades of experience supporting adults through pivotal life transitions. She is licensed to practice telehealth in California, Wisconsin and 42 additional states through PsyPact. She is the founder of Therapy for Midlife, a teletherapy practice where she works with individuals and couples to address the emotional and relational challenges of midlife, including the often-overlooked impact perimenopause has on mental health.
She graduated with honors from University of California, Davis and earned her Doctor of Psychology degree from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. Her early clinical training included a doctoral internship at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, where she worked with patients recovering from traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. That formative experience sparked a lasting interest in the intersection of mental and physical health. For over a decade, she worked in psychiatric, women's health, emergency and genetics departments addressing the mental health concerns of individuals and couples. There, she regularly collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to support patients and families, further shaping her whole-person approach to care. Today, Dr. Rashkis brings that integrated perspective to patients in her private practice as well as acting as a consultant and clinical team member for health care organizations working to expand access to behavioral health services .
She is a member of The Menopause Society and several international organizations focused on women’s sexual health, underscoring her commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care.
