Therapy for Life Transitions

Life transitions are those threshold moments that ask something new of us—when the shape of our life changes, whether by choice or circumstance. Some transitions are expected or even celebrated: a new relationship, a move, a career shift, becoming a parent. Others arrive uninvited: the end of a relationship, a loss, an illness, or a change that alters how we see ourselves. Even the most “positive” changes can stir anxiety, grief, or uncertainty as we step into the unfamiliar.

During these times, it’s common to feel disoriented or unsure of how to move forward. You may find yourself questioning your identity, purpose, or direction—wondering why something that was supposed to feel exciting feels instead like loss or confusion. These moments of transition often ask us to release what’s been familiar and to make space for what’s next, which can feel both liberating and destabilizing.

In therapy, we’ll explore not only the outer changes you’re navigating but the inner shifts they evoke. Transitions can awaken old fears, attachment wounds, or unconscious patterns that shape how we handle uncertainty and growth. Through an integrative approach that blends CBT, somatic awareness, and psychodynamic exploration, we’ll work to:

• Process the emotions and grief that often accompany change.

• Identify what’s ending and what’s emerging within you.

• Build tools to stay grounded and centered through uncertainty.

• Clarify what this new chapter is asking you to value, protect, or redefine.

Change, while uncomfortable, can be profoundly transformative when met with awareness. Therapy offers a space to move through the in-between—not just to adjust, but to realign.

If you’re in the midst of a transition and want to move through it with more clarity and steadiness, you’re welcome to reach out for a consultation to begin therapy or learn more about how this work can help you find your footing in change.
