Clinical Consultation Options for Clinicians

Hormones, Mood & the Nervous System Across the Lifespan

Hormonal shifts and nervous system regulation play a significant role in mood, cognition, behavior, and stress tolerance across the lifespan. These physiological influences are often overlooked in traditional diagnostic frameworks, leaving clinicians with unanswered questions when symptoms don’t neatly fit DSM categories.

These consultation offerings are designed to support licensed clinicians in deepening their clinical confidence, assessment language, and treatment planning through a hormone-informed, nervous-system-aware lens.

Individual Clinical Consultation

Hormones, Mood & Case Conceptualization

Individual consultation is available for clinicians seeking focused, one-on-one support around specific cases, clinical questions, or conceptual challenges related to hormones, mood, and nervous system regulation.

  • Want to think through a complex or confusing case in depth
  • Are noticing mood, behavioral, or cognitive symptoms that shift with hormonal changes, stress, or life stage
  • Want support differentiating state vs. trait, hormonal influence vs. diagnosis
  • Are looking for clearer assessment language, documentation guidance, or interdisciplinary collaboration strategies
  • Prefer individualized consultation rather than a group format
  • 60-minute one-on-one consultation (via Zoom)
  • Case-based discussion using fully de-identified material
  • Hormone- and nervous-system-informed conceptualization
  • Support with assessment language, treatment planning, and provider collaboration
  • Optional follow-up recommendations or resources

Group Clinical Consultation

Mood, Hormones & the Nervous System Across the Lifespan
A 6-Week Case Consultation Series for Clinicians

This 6-week small-group clinical consultation is designed for licensed clinicians seeking deeper confidence in working with mood symptoms influenced by hormonal shifts across the lifespan, nervous system regulation, and chronic stress physiology.

From puberty through the reproductive years, perimenopause, menopause, and beyond, hormonal transitions can significantly shape emotional regulation, cognition, sleep, appetite, and stress tolerance. These changes are often misunderstood, minimized, or misdiagnosed—leaving both clients and clinicians feeling confused or stuck.

Clients may present with anxiety, depression, irritability, rage, ADHD-like symptoms, eating concerns, or emotional volatility that do not fully align with diagnostic categories or can mimic DSM diagnosis. This consultation group supports clinicians in recognizing how endocrine rhythms, stress hormones, and nervous system states interact to influence mood and behavior throughout life.

The focus of this group is clinical application and case consultation—not therapy, supervision, or protocol-based training.

  • Work with adolescents, adults, or midlife clients experiencing mood variability or emotional shifts
  • Notice symptoms changing with hormonal transitions, stress, sleep disruption, or life stages for AFAB clients
  • Support clients navigating puberty, reproductive years, pregnancy/postpartum, perimenopause, or menopause
  • Feel constrained by DSM-only frameworks when symptoms may mimic DSM diagnosis or don’t quit fit a diagnosis 
  • Want hormone-informed, nervous-system-aware language for assessment and treatment planning
  • Differentiate between state and trait to identify hormonal vs diagnosis traits

Appropriate for: Licensed mental health clinicians, social workers, psychologists, dietitians, physicians, and other healthcare providers working with mood and behavioral health.

This consultation group supports clinicians in thinking through questions such as:

  • How do I differentiate hormonal mood shifts from anxiety, depression, ADHD, or mood disorders?
  • How do I differentiate hormonal mood shifts through the lens of state vs trait? 
  • When symptoms intensify during certain life stages or times of the month, how much is hormonal versus psychological?
  • How do hormonal changes across the lifespan—including puberty, reproductive years, perimenopause, and menopause—impact emotional regulation and stress tolerance?
  • Why do some clients develop new mood symptoms, rage, panic, or cognitive changes in midlife despite no prior psychiatric history?
  • How do estrogen and progesterone fluctuations interact with the nervous system to influence irritability, reactivity, or shutdown?
  • What language helps validate biological influence without minimizing emotional experience?
  • How do cortisol, chronic stress, and trauma history amplify hormonal vulnerability?
  • Why do eating behavior, appetite, body image, or rigidity often shift alongside mood changes?
  • How can I collaborate more effectively with medical providers when hormonal factors may be relevant?
  • How do I document these patterns clearly and ethically without overstating causality?
This group is:
  • Clinical case consultation
  • Professional development
  • Educational and collaborative
  • Grounded in hormonal and nervous system physiology
