LIFE TRANSITIONS

Have you experienced a major life event such as a death, divorce, or loss of your job?   Therapy can provide an environment where you can speak candidly about what you are feeling.  While difficult, unexpected change can throw us into a tailspin, it can also present an opportunity to become stronger and develop new personal skills.  Even positive events can leave us stressed and overwhelmed. Some of the common life transitions that bring people to therapy include:

• Moving away to college
• Adjusting to your first professional job
• Getting married
• Having a new baby
• Parenting
• Empty nest syndrome
• Breakup, separation or divorce
• Infidelity recovery
• Retirement
• Job loss or major change in career
• Relocation
• Financial gain/loss
• Serious illness or disability
• Issues pertaining to aging
• Death of a loved one
• Questioning the meaning of life   
              
  Therapy can reduce the symptoms of anxiety or depression that often occur in reaction to life changes, and help you recover faster.  It can not only help you overcome adversity, but also become more authentic and confident in the process.
