Change can be difficult even when you chose it
A new job, relationship, move, graduation, retirement, or family change may be something you wanted and still feel overwhelming once it becomes real.
Transitions often change routines, responsibilities, relationships, and the way you see yourself. It can take time to adjust to a life that suddenly looks different.
Counseling can give you space to understand what you are feeling and decide how you want to move through the change.
Life transitions can take many forms
Support may be useful whenever a significant change begins affecting your emotional well-being or sense of direction.
- Starting or changing a career
- Marriage, separation, or divorce
- Graduation or entering a new stage of adulthood
- Changes in health or physical ability
- Moving to a new city or community
- Becoming a parent or adjusting to family changes
- Retirement or changes in work identity
- Feeling uncertain about what direction to take next
How counseling may help
Counseling can help you process uncertainty, stress, grief, excitement, fear, or other emotions connected with a major change.
It can also provide space to clarify what matters to you, adjust to new responsibilities or relationships, and make decisions about what you want the next stage of life to look like.
