Sometimes in life we get to a point where we become desperate for change. Sometimes we don’t, but life thrusts it upon us anyway. Common new chapters, closing chapters, and uncomfortable moments in-between that clients seek therapy for include:

  • Midlife crisis

  • Career crisis

  • Retirement

  • Job loss

  • Marriage

  • Starting a family

  • Empty nest

  • Divorce

  • Terminal Illness

  • Death

No matter the transition you’re going through, therapy can be both an invaluable source of support, as well as a critical resource to help you take a step back and define your next steps.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.
— Christopher Morley

Find out if therapy for a major life transition is right for you


Chances are, you’ll encounter at least a few major transitions across your career. Perhaps you…

  • Have hit at a plateau in your current job and considering a career change, career pivot, or are not quite sure what it will look like, but some type of overhaul

  • Are anxiously approaching or recently transitioning into retirement, and nervous about how you’ll possibly reimagine your life with so much newfound time, let alone still feel “useful”

  • Were recently promoted and but overwhelmed or feeling underprepared for what’s required to manage others, adapt to new demands, or level up

  • Were recently laid off, and battling feelings of anxiety, insecurity, or shame

  • Are overworked, under a new difficult boss, or between opportunities and desperate for a change, but you either don’t know how or have something holding you back from actually making one

While career is not everything, it certainly hits on some of the most important parts of our lives - our time, our identity, fulfillment and sense of impact, and livelihood and financial security.

But if there’s one thing I know about most of my clients in these very situations, they’re often the last ones to ask for help.
