Life Transitions

Did you just move into a new living situation? Are you going through a divorce? Have you been home with your children for years and they just started school? Have you recently lost a loved one? Are you a new empty-nester? Newly married? A new parent?

Major life changes can bring up an incredible - and often surprising - amount of emotion. Even seemingly positive transitions can involve loss and grief. Sometimes, like when there has been a death, the loss is obvious and the grief is overwhelming. It can feel unmanageable to figure out how to put your life back together.

This might be the time to get support so you don’t need to go through this pain alone. Sometimes, the emotions being stirred up can be more confusing. A new situation can call to mind something from your past that a therapist can help you finally resolve. Often, people realize that they are ready to explore some repeated patterns so they can live their life in a different way.
