Support for Major Life Transitions
Assisting Driven Professionals and Students in New York
When Big Things Are Changing
Life transitions can be deeply disorienting — even when they are desired. A new job, a career pivot, graduation, geographic relocation, entering or leaving a relationship, becoming a parent; these experiences can all disrupt the routines, relationships, and identity anchors that once grounded you. And the impact of major life transitions can be even more overwhelming when they are unexpected or unwanted.
If you’re feeling unmoored, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next, you’re not alone. Major life transitions can precipitate or exacerbate experiences of burnout, chronic stress, professional identity confusion, and persistent feelings of inadequacy. Therapy can help you enhance your understanding of the transitions you face and their impact on you. It can also help you develop strategies to most effectively navigate those transitions.
