Dr. Katie Stewart, Licensed Psychologist
Tamara De Angelis, Psychotherapist M.S.W., LCSW
The course was excellent with scholarly providers from various disciplines within the field of perimenopause/menopause.
I received a robust course that helped me fill in gaps in my knowledge and understanding of the literature on perimenopause. I actually could NOT think of any disciplines or issues that were not covered that might otherwise have been important. I'm very grateful that Perry had the brilliant idea to plan this course and that I had the opportunity to participate.

Perry Academy deepened my understanding of how hormonal changes and perimenopause impact mental health and relationships, with a strong focus on trauma informed and culturally competent care.
