LIFE TRANSITIONS & WORK STRESS

Changing jobs, moving, graduating — these life transitions are normal milestones. And because they’re so common, their emotional toll is often overlooked. There’s a quiet pressure to push through, or a belief that they should come without struggle because they are normal. But transitions like these can shake your sense of identity, stability, and purpose — especially when they come with layers of uncertainty, loss, or change. Therapy during times of transition can serve as grounding support — a steady place to make sense of what’s changing and how to move forward with intention. For those seeking a therapist to help with life support, this work can be a powerful anchor for building clarity and resilience in uncertain times.


Some of the areas that can be explored during this time include:


  • What makes this life transition different or more difficult than others you've faced

  • Feeling pathless or stuck — not sure how you got here, what went off track, or how to begin again

  • Clarifying what the next step looks like, and identifying what you truly want for your life

  • The discomfort that comes along with uncertain times

  • Nostalgia or idealization of the past

  • The pressure to make the “right” choice
