Life Transitions Therapy
Facing a Big Life Change and Feeling Overwhelmed?
Are you navigating a major life transition and finding it hard to adjust? Whether it’s starting a new job, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, moving to a new city, or entering a new phase of life, change can stir up anxiety, grief, self-doubt, or confusion. Even positive transitions — like a promotion or getting married — can bring stress, loss of identity, or unexpected emotional challenges.
Life transitions can shake our sense of stability and leave us feeling lost, stuck, or unsure of what’s next. You may be wondering if you're making the right choices, struggling to let go of what was, or unsure how to show up in your new role or chapter. Therapy offers a grounding space to explore your experience, reconnect with your values, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Change Is Inevitable — Struggling with It Is Normal
No matter how well we plan, life has a way of surprising us. Transitions are a universal part of the human experience, and while some people adapt easily, many find themselves overwhelmed by the emotional impact of change. In fact, research shows that major life events—positive or negative—are among the most significant stressors we encounter.
These changes can stir up past wounds, surface old insecurities, or challenge your identity and sense of purpose. For some, transitions lead to feelings of grief or disorientation; for others, it may show up as anxiety, depression, or avoidance. But you’re not alone. It’s normal to feel unsettled during a big shift—and support can make a real difference.
How Therapy Helps You Navigate Life’s Turning Points
Therapy provides space to process the emotional impact of transitions, clarify your direction, and build resilience. Our therapists work from an integrative, client-centered approach that combines Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to address emotional patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clarify values and cultivate psychological flexibility, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore internal conflicts that may arise during change.
In therapy, we will:
Make sense of your emotional reactions and normalize your experience.
Explore losses, fears, or identity shifts related to your transition.
Identify your strengths, values, and goals to help guide your next steps.
Develop strategies to manage anxiety, uncertainty, or pressure.
Support you in creating a narrative of growth and meaning, even through challenge.
Life transitions can be disorienting — but they also carry the potential for transformation. Together with your therapist, you will work toward helping you feel more grounded, clear, and empowered as you move into your next chapter.
Common Concerns About Seeking Therapy During a Life Transition
-
Life transitions affect everyone differently. Just because others seem to manage doesn’t mean your experience is less valid. Therapy is about supporting your unique journey.
-
That’s okay. Many people seek therapy because they feel lost or unsure. Our work together will help you unpack your experience and reconnect with your sense of direction.
-
Not at all. Therapy is also a space for growth, reflection, and navigating change. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from support.
