Therapy for Life Transitions and Change
The only constant in life is change — and whether it’s welcome or unexpected, life transitions can shake us to the core.
Even positive changes, like becoming a parent or starting a new job, can bring stress and uncertainty. And painful changes — such as losing a loved one, facing illness or disability, or going through divorce — can leave you feeling overwhelmed, untethered, and unsure of who you are now.
Why Transitions Are So Difficult
It's not just the change itself that’s hard — it's the space between what was and what is. That in-between can bring up:
Anxiety or depression
Loneliness and isolation
Identity loss or confusion
Shame for “not handling it better”
Self-doubt about the future
Many people feel blindsided by their emotional response to change. Even when a transition is “supposed to be” exciting — like moving out, retiring, or getting married — you might still feel grief, sadness, or uncertainty. And that’s completely valid.
Every Transition Brings Both Loss and Opportunity
With every life change, there is an element of grief — a letting go of what once was. But within that grief is also a space to redefine who you are, to rebuild, and to reconnect with your values, desires, and goals.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
