Going through a major life transition?

Going through a major life transition can be a lonely and confusing experience. The uncertainty that comes with a loss or a new role can cause overwhelming fear, anxiety, and even depression. You may wake up every morning feeling stuck or scared, obsessing about how this change will influence your life.

As you feel more alone and isolated in a rush of emotions, it may feel increasingly difficult to connect with others, balance responsibilities, and find purpose in life — and the stress and uncertainty of transitions can affect your sleeping, eating, and ability to feel confident and move forward.

You're far from alone. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, 40 million adults — 18% of the U.S. population — struggle with anxiety, and it's 60% more common in women than in men. Whatever you're adapting to, you don't have to go through it alone.

If you are struggling to adapt to a major change, you are not alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Women's Counseling

Oftentimes, there is so much stress associated with a major change that it can and will linger, or even worsen. When pent-up stress gets trapped in your system, it can cause a variety of issues, including insomnia, nightmares, headaches, stomach aches, depression, and anxiety. Getting help sooner rather than later allows you to lessen and even avoid some of these discomforts, and to learn more about what you truly need to feel empowered, balanced, and at ease.
It makes sense to feel doubtful when the pain feels this big — you don't need to already feel hopeful for therapy to help. We meet you exactly where you are, at whatever pace feels manageable, and work together to build real relief and tools over time, even when things feel overwhelming right now.
Life during a big transition is often when time feels hardest to find — which is exactly why we offer flexible in-person and virtual scheduling. Regular sessions, even brief ones, can create real relief and prevent the stress from piling up further, which often ends up saving you time and energy in the long run.
