Dr. Meredith Sjoberg

If you're in perimenopause and feel like you don't recognize yourself - the rage that comes out of nowhere, doctors who brush off what you're telling them, the sense that you've lost track of who you are underneath all of it - you're not losing it, and you're not alone. This is exactly what I work with.

My clients come to me looking for support in three areas: learning to advocate for themselves (with doctors, with family, with themselves) so they actually get what they need; getting a handle on the mood swings, anxiety, rage, and sleepless nights; and finding their way back to feeling like themselves again.

I received my PhD in Counseling Psychology from Boston College in 2007 and my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College in 1998.

I am warm and supportive yet direct. I think therapy is a wonderful tool and I want my clients to get the most out of it. I like to listen, of course, but to also give clients things to think about that they may not have considered before. I also like to work with them on figuring out why they may be stuck and how to feel better as soon as possible.

I will want to know what made you decide to start therapy at this time and what you're hoping to work on. I'll ask some questions to guide the conversation if that is easier for you - or you can just tell me about you. We'll wrap up with some action steps and decide when we should meet again.
