Life Transitions Therapy in Atlanta, GA
“Transitions in life can offer opportunities for discovery.”
— Robbie Shell
Change is one of the few constants in life. Nonetheless, change can be very hard. There are so many types of life transitions. Some you see coming and can prepare for, and others catch you very off guard. Some changes are positive like getting married, having a baby, or getting a promotion. Yet, others are negative like losing a job or getting a divorce. But even the positive changes need changes to your life and your way of thinking. This can be tricky to navigate without support. That's why we offer life transitions therapy in Atlanta, GA.

Readjusting After a Major Life Transition
It’s human nature to crave predictability and routines. So anything that disrupts our sense of normalcy can be upsetting. For example, getting married is a positive change. But, this requires us to combine our lives with another person. That can be very hard.
Sometimes, change can be so mentally taxing that you begin to feel very overwhelmed. Almost as if you’re stuck in a fog where the path forward is unclear. But the good news is, support is available through life transitions therapy.
We’ve all been there. We have all experienced the burdens placed upon us during times of life transitions. So, we understand how frustrated, confused, and overwhelmed you may feel. As therapists, we’ve helped many individuals going through challenging life transitions. Together, we assist clients to find clarity and peace moving forward. So a life transitions therapist from our team can help you too. We offer both in-person support and online therapy in Georgia.
Our Approach to Life Transitions Therapy in Atlanta, GA
Our initial goal is to help you feel safe working with us during life transitions therapy. We want you to feel safe as you open up and talk about the challenges you’re experiencing in your life. In the beginning, we will take time to listen to you. We want to get to know you and the issues you’re bringing to therapy. This means talking about past and present issues and how they make you feel. That can be hard, but it is a necessary part of the counseling process and we will support you every step of the way.
Our therapists want you to find success, so we will listen as you describe your goals for therapy. Then, we will develop a treatment plan that is unique to you as an individual. Our goal is to not only help you deal with the things that are causing you distress. We also hope to offer you the tools to help you better manage distress when it inevitably happens again. After you complete life transitions therapy, we hope that you can face life feeling more confident. Our end goal is to help you navigate transitions and the uncomfortable emotions around them.
