Life Transitions
Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can bring both opportunity and emotional upheaval. Moving to a new country, starting a job, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, or stepping into a new stage of life can trigger uncertainty, grief, anxiety, or a sense of losing control.
Therapy provides support through these periods of change, helping you navigate the emotional complexity, adjust to new roles, and reconnect with your values and strengths. Together, we focus on building resilience, understanding your internal responses, and creating a sense of stability as you move forward. You don’t need to face transitions alone—guidance and reflection can make them far more manageable.
Seek help if:
- Symptoms last more than two weeks
- Daily life feels unmanageable
- You have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby
- You feel anxious, panicked, or scared most of the day
- Immediate help: Call 911 if you feel you or someone else is in danger.
Other ways to cope:
- Talk to your doctor or OB-GYN—they can screen for postpartum depression and anxiety.
- Connect with a psychotherapist for guidance and coping strategies.
- Share your feelings with trusted family or friends.
- Practice self-care: rest, eat well, and accept help.
- Join support groups for new parents.
