THE MIDLIFE RESET

This program is designed for professional women in midlife who are navigating a combination of challenges that feel hard to separate. Challenges like brain fog, overwhelm, difficulty focusing, emotional exhaustion, anxiety, or a sense that everyday life has become harder to manage than it used to be. Many of the women we work with are in the menopause transition, are stuck in the sandwich generation, are dealing with anxiety or depression and are wondering (or know) if ADHD is further impacting them. If you've been trying to manage these challenges on your own, or have tried therapy or coaching individually without getting the traction you hoped for, this program was designed with you in mind.

No. Many of the women we work with are in the process of seeking answers, not at the end of that process. You don't need a confirmed diagnosis of anxiety, depression, ADHD, or any other condition to participate. What matters is that the challenges feel real and are affecting your daily functioning. That's enough.

Yes. Because the program includes psychotherapy sessions with Amy McPherson, a Registered Psychotherapist, Amy is only able to provide therapy to clients who are physically located in Ontario at the time of their sessions. Erin's coaching sessions are available more broadly, but given that the program is designed as an integrated, coordinated experience, both components need to be accessible to you. If you're located outside Ontario and interested in coaching support only, we'd be happy to talk through what that might look like.

This is a great question, and we want to give you an honest answer. The integrated model of The Midlife Reset Program depends on close collaboration between the therapist and the coach. That includes shared framing, coordinated goals, and ongoing communication between both practitioners. That coordination is built into how Amy and Erin work together, and it's a significant part of what makes the program effective. While we can't replicate that model with an external therapist, if you have an existing therapeutic relationship you value, it may be worth speaking with your therapist about whether a collaborative arrangement is something they'd be open to exploring. We're happy to have that conversation with you on a free consultation call.

When therapy and coaching happen in parallel but independently, the client often ends up doing the work of connecting the dots between the two. There’s extra work to translate insights from therapy into coaching conversations, and vice versa. That's a significant cognitive load to place on someone who is already feeling overwhelmed. In The Midlife Reset Program, Amy and Erin work in a coordinated way with a shared language and aligned goals, so the insights from therapy directly inform the coaching strategies, and the real-world challenges surfacing in coaching can enrich the therapeutic work. You don't have to bridge the two on your own.

Psychotherapy, provided by Amy, a Registered Psychotherapist, focuses on the emotional and psychological dimensions of what you're experiencing. This includes processing anxiety, grief, identity shifts, burnout, and the emotional weight of feeling like you're not functioning the way you used to. Executive function coaching, provided by Erin, a certified Executive Function Coach, focuses on the practical side, helping clients to build systems for time management, reduce procrastination, improve planning and follow-through, and develop strategies that work with your brain rather than against it. Both are valuable. Together, they address the full picture.

Psychotherapy sessions provided by a Registered mental health professional are often covered by extended health benefit plans in Ontario. As a Registered Psychotherapist, Amy's sessions may be eligible for reimbursement depending on your plan - carefully check your plan whether it includes Registered Psychotherapists. Coaching sessions are not typically covered by health benefits. However, they may be covered by your employer directly through training or professional development funds. We recommend checking your plan details before starting the program. If coverage is a factor in your decision, we're happy to discuss this in a free consultation call.

The program runs over 12 weeks and includes 6 psychotherapy sessions with Amy and 6 executive function coaching sessions with Erin, typically alternating throughout the program so that each discipline can build on the other. Between sessions, Erin provides check-ins and support to help you stay on track and navigate real-time challenges as they come up. Amy and Erin communicate throughout the program to ensure your care is coordinated. Sessions are conducted virtually.

That uncertainty is something we hear often, and it usually reflects exactly the kind of mental load and decision fatigue that brings women to this program in the first place. You don't have to have everything figured out before you reach out. A consultation call is a no-pressure conversation and a chance to ask questions, share what you're experiencing, and get a sense of whether the program feels like a good fit. There's no obligation to proceed.
