The adage that “the only constant in life is change” is true for people experiencing life transitions. Some life transitions can be exciting, such as a new relationship, move, job, or child. Some can be difficult, like death, illness, or aging. Regardless of the nature of the change, life transitions can be stressful.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions therapists may use for dealing with life transitions include talking about and processing the change, developing coping skills for handling the stress of the change, and participating in group therapy with people going through similar life transitions.

I believe that people are innate problem solvers. However, in order to solve problems successfully, we need three key ingredients: information, capacity, and skills. Ideally, therapy isn’t about solving the problem for you, it’s about exploring the problem with you so you can determine how these ingredients are at play and develop your own methods to get them. Sometimes, I like to describe ther...

Through the use of trauma-informed care, mindfulness meditation, and...
