Life Transitions

Life transitions are moments when life shifts in meaningful ways, bringing new experiences, challenges, and opportunities for growth.

Whether planned or unexpected, wanted or not, transitions often stir up complex emotions that can feel heavy or confusing.

Even the most anticipated changes can be overwhelming.

Yes, change is hard — but support is available, and you don’t have to face it alone.

Common Life Changes or Transitions may include—

  • Woman with brown hair holding swaddled infant with brown hair and white blanket with blue stars.

    Shifts in Relationships

    New relationships or estrangements

    Marriage or divorce

    Birth, adoption, or the blending of families

  • 2 Graduates running across a football field. One male in a green grad gown and the other is a female with high heels and blue grad attire.

    Family Milestones

    Child leaving home or “empty nesting”

    Aging-related changes or caregiving responsibilities

  • 2 story white house with chimney on its left and many windows. White horizontal fence in front. Large green yard on a slight slope or hill.

    Career & Lifestyle Changes

    Career changes, new jobs, or retirement

    Changes in housing or relocation

  • Woman with cream sweater and patterned dress, holding 7 day medication pill box and removing pink circular pill.

    Health & Well-Being

    New medical diagnosis or shifts in physical health

  • 2 hands holding a brown leather wallet while removing 1 dollar.

    Loss & Uncertainty

    Grief and loss

    Legal or financial upheaval

Change is a natural part of life, but during major transitions, the stress can feel especially overwhelming.

These moments often stir up big questions about who we are, what we value, and how we move forward.

If change feels overwhelming, let’s talk.
