Therapy for Life Transitions

Life transitions—whether finishing school, starting a new job, becoming a parent, or retiring—can bring about both excitement and stress. These significant changes, though often positive, may leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or out of balance. At Restoration Psychotherapy, I specialize in helping individuals navigate these transitions with support, clarity, and confidence.

What is a Life Transition?

Life transitions are periods of change that require adjustment, often challenging our sense of identity, stability, and direction.

Common Life transitions include:

beginning or finishing school
career change
becoming a parent or having another child
getting married
moving to a new place
retiring

Whatever the change, these transitions are often accompanied by a mix of thoughts and emotions such as excitement, anxiety, uncertainty, or grief.

How Can Therapy Help?

Therapy for life transitions offers a safe space to explore these changes and develop healthy coping strategies.

Approaches may include:

Exploration of values and goals to help you reflect on what’s important to you during a time of change and guide you toward decisions that align with your personal values.
Stress management techniques to help you learn how to manage the stress that often accompanies life changes through mindfulness, relaxation practices, and breathing exercises.
Building resilience by helping you strengthen your self-esteem and your ability to cope with change as you adjust to new circumstances.
