Stage of Life Issues

Change is an inevitable part of life and most individuals will experience a significant change in their life at some point. While some changes go smoothly, others may cause you to feel like your entire world has changed. If you’re struggling with change, you may be:

  • starting over after a breakup or divorce.

  • making the shift into parenthood.

  • adjusting to life after the loss of a loved one.

  • experiencing a job/career loss or change.

  • adjusting to living in a new city or state.

As you move through the different stages of life, there are times when you are faced with decisions. Some of these decisions may feel pretty easy or straight forward, but some of the “big” decisions may feel overwhelming. You may be considering:

  • “Should I change my job or career?”

  • “Do I want to have children?”

  • “Do I want to get married?”

  • “Should I end this relationship?”

  • “Should I make this big move across the country?”

  • “Am I ready to retire?”

Therapy can help you:

  • identify and process your emotions.

  • gain perspective.

  • develop a sense of identity and purpose.

  • identify and change ways of thinking that might be making this period more challenging for you.

  • clarify your goals and values.

  • gain confidence in your decisions.
