From Periods to Perimenopause: Kyla Care Therapy's Comprehensive Mental Health Focus
#TheDayWithTrae - Kicking off the final week of “The Day With Trae” in 2025, host Trae Holiday welcomed Lindsey Williams of Kyla Care Therapy. Williams, a licensed clinical social worker, discussed her specialization in reproductive mental health, which covers everything from periods to perimenopause for women.
After three years of Kyla Care Therapy, Williams laid out the top priorities she addresses with her clients. Noting that a lack of information often leads people to incorrectly associate reproductive mental health solely with pregnancy, she highlighted that common client concerns include mood difficulties and building self-awareness about how the body's phases affect mood and emotions. Williams recommends "mood tracking" alongside menstrual cycle tracking as a way for clients to bring their self-awareness to the therapeutic process.
Williams explained the signs of reproductive mental health issues, suggesting differentiation based on whether a reproductive health condition is the direct cause of a mental health change. She also emphasized Kyla Care Therapy's three components: individual therapy (short-term and long-term), digital wellness tools like workbooks, and provider training to help doctors validate mental health concerns in this space.
