Therapy for Life Transitions 

There are many times throughout life where one might experience a time of transition. Our therapists provide a safe environment to support clients as they navigate life's changes, both expected and unexpected. ​

​

What is a Life Transition

A life transition is a significant change in an individual's life circumstances, either expected or unexpected. This might include a new career, starting school, the birth of a child, marriage, divorce, separation, job loss, a pandemic or move to a new location. In many instances, several transitions occur simultaneously, such as a moving for a new job, which can be particularly stressful. Life transitions can come with a wide range of emotions from excitement to grief. Whether a transition is positive or painful, it is normal to experience overwhelm, increased stress levels, and difficulty maintaining or adjusting routines.

How Therapy Can Support Individuals Navigating Life Transitions 

Therapy can be an important component of caring for mental health during times of increased life stress. A therapist can assist clients navigating both expected and unexpected transitions more effectively. A therapist can provide support in processing and coping with emotional reactions to change, developing healthy coping skills to manage stress levels, and adjusting routines, goals, and expectations. Similarly, therapy can help to identify and explore additional sources of support and aid with preparation for transitions.
