Life and Career Transitions

Are you feeling stuck, dealing with burnout, or just not sure which way to go?

We can help you turn transitions into a success rather than a struggle.

Dealing with change can be challenging:

Has it been a long time since you felt clear about where you are and your path in life? Sometimes, you find it hard to see where you are going, laugh, or be present in the moment. Maybe you’re a new parent or dealing with work-related burnout, stress, and feeling checked out. You may have noticed that it’s affecting your mood; you're not eating, sleeping, or can’t concentrating. Maybe you find yourself avoiding doing things and struggling to find the motivation to get basic tasks done.

Navigating life and career transitions can affect your emotional and physical health and relationships.

What it’s like to work with us:

Therapy can help you learn how to manage significant adjustments or changes that you are experiencing in life or your career. It can provide a non-judgmental place to express feelings, explore solutions, and gain valuable perspective. Talking to a therapist can give you the space to delve into the impact of life changes so that you can get unstuck and find a way to move forward. It can help improve how you relate to yourself and others and help you to increase healthy communication and boundaries. You can learn ways to make choices that align with your values and help you go from surviving to thriving.

How we can help you with transitions:

Your therapist will create a safe, open space for you to explore the challenges of life and career transitions and support healthy adjustment. Utilizing therapy practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) can help you recognize how your thoughts connect to your feelings, actions, or inactions. Therapy can be a source of reframing limiting beliefs and fears that are getting in your way instead of leading to success. Finding new ways to understand your thoughts, feelings, and goals can lead to embracing changes in your life and career.

Therapy can help you:

  • Improve your ability to adjust and manage significant changes in your life

  • Be more aware of your emotions and how to manage them

  • Do things that align with your values 

  • Develop plans and commit to meaningful actions to get unstuck

  • Create changes that help you manage stress and burnout in healthy ways

Go from being overwhelmed by life changes to thriving!

FAQs

  • Sometimes, managing a recent life change or making a life change can cause intense and overwhelming emotional distress. This distress interferes with relationships, work, and social life. You may feel sad, withdrawn, worried, burnt out, or even immobilized and unable to take meaningful action.

  • It can be hard to adjust to many life and career transitions. Becoming a new parent, losing a relationship, moving across the country, or returning to school can impact your life. Changes at work, like increased responsibilities, losing a job, becoming a business owner, or significant changes in your partner's income, can increase stress and affect you professionally and personally.

  • Dealing with changes in your life can be isolating, even if you are going through them with someone else, like a partner or co-worker. Working with a therapist can help you learn how to understand your emotions better and handle them so that they don't take over and interfere with your life. You can also learn to recognize what problems might trigger your emotions and what steps you can take to help prevent your feelings from getting in the way of making important decisions. Learning to adjust to changes in your life can improve your outlook and help you have healthy relationships with others.
