Psychotherapy for women 50+: Psychotherapy instead of botox?
Psychotherapy for Women 50+: Self-Discovery, Self-Confidence, and New Clarity for the Next Phase of Life
In midlife and beyond, many things change – both externally and internally. Women over 50 often face new challenges: children leave home, professional roles change, relationships experience upheavals or new dynamics. Physical changes, such as those caused by menopause, also affect emotional balance. This phase of life brings with it questions and uncertainties – but also opportunities for reorientation and self-care.
In a society dominated by youth, many women in their 50s feel pressure to change their external appearance – whether through cosmetic surgery, Botox, or other interventions. Behind this desire often lie deeper issues: the need for recognition, fear of aging, or the feeling of not being (or no longer being) adequate.
In psychotherapy, we create space to explore these inner motivations lovingly and honestly. Instead of fighting against oneself, a new, self-loving body image can emerge. If you have low self-esteem, no surgery can bring lasting happiness.
As inner acceptance grows, external pressure loses its power.
Psychotherapy can be an effective way to free yourself from societal beauty ideals – and to embrace your own aging with dignity, strength, and self-respect.
At Kinnunen Psychotherapy Practice, I support women going through menopause in gaining inner clarity, resolving emotional baggage, and moving through life with greater self-acceptance and strength. My work focuses on topics such as:
Loss, grief, and loneliness (e.g., after the death of loved ones or the end of long-term relationships, life as a single person after divorce)
Self-esteem and identity beyond traditional role models
Anxiety, depression, or exhaustion
Coping with physical changes
