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
