Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider therapy during a life transition?

If a major life change is causing ongoing stress, anxiety, sadness, or difficulty functioning in your daily life, therapy can provide support and practical strategies to help you adjust.

Can therapy help even if the change is positive?

Absolutely. Positive changes, such as getting married, becoming a parent, starting a new job, or retiring, can still bring uncertainty and emotional challenges. Therapy can help you navigate these changes successfully.

How long does therapy for life transitions last?

Every person's situation is different. Some clients benefit from short-term counseling during a specific transition, while others choose ongoing therapy for continued personal growth and support.
