Life Transition Therapy in California

Life Can Change In An Instant, But How We Cope With Those Changes Matters

When you experience life transitions, whether planned or unexpected, it can be difficult to navigate the changes and your feelings. You can be moving to college and living on your own for the first time. The idea of this excited you but now that you’re here, you find yourself struggling to adjust and feeling overwhelmed. You feel pressure from your peers to enjoy the freedom of college, yet you’re filled with intense worry about grades and social anxiety.

You've just graduated from higher education and are starting your career. This is exciting as it's what you've been working toward for years, but now you're feeling pressure to succeed and measure up in your new role. You feel like you don't belong and that your peers are achieving more than you. You can't control the situation, so you put pressure on yourself to make everything perfect. Or you were just fired from your job. You're still not able to believe it.

This Wasn't a Part Of Your Plan and You're Angry, Placing The Blame On Others.

Perhaps, you've just lost a loved one that meant the world to you. It’s natural to feel lost, lonely, and confused when something so significant happens in your life. You may feel stuck in your grief and struggling to let people know what you need. Maybe you're even angry at your loved one for leaving you too soon. Was this their choice or just something that couldn’t be changed? What do you do now that they're gone?

Maybe you just got engaged, married, or are deciding to start a family. These can be joyful occasions but also cause anxiety due to the unknown factors of the future. You may be feeling pressure from family members or society to make certain choices, and you're not sure how to proceed. You may spend more time weighing your options than you'd like, and even then you are still having difficulties making decisions. This time may be joyful but it is causing you a lot of stress.

Why Some Seek Life Transition Therapy?

Life transitions can be difficult to navigate but also navigating the emotions and thoughts that come with them can be even more overwhelming. Even if the transitions are joyful, expected, or desired, this does not mean they can't cause feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. This can take a toll on your mental health and overall well-being. These are a few of the reasons why someone might seek support for life transitions.

Difficulty controlling the worry and thoughts about the future.


Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to make decisions or take action.


Uncertainty about how to manage the emotions and thoughts that come with life transitions.


Struggling to communicate your needs or feelings.


Difficulty adjusting to life transitions due to maladaptive beliefs or past experiences.


Navigating the loss of loved ones or significant changes in relationships.
