Just when you are feeling confident in this parenting gig, your child leaves home. This transition of a child leaving home is often called the empty nest phase, which can be a challenging time for many parents.

Maybe your life has been pretty stable, but you feel like something is missing. You feel like you are going through the motions in your life, but you aren’t truly living and making the most of your experiences. Maybe you would like to learn to focus on living in the moment and embracing “you” rather than being overly focused on the past or future.

Embrace change with confidence and clarity
Navigating life's challenges and transitions can be daunting, but therapy can provide a supportive space to explore your feelings, gain clarity, and rediscover your direction. Whether you're dealing with a significant life change or a seemingly small shift, the overall goal is to help you regain your footing and move forward with confidence. Life transitions can be challenging, but they also offer opportunities for growth and positive change. Seeking support during these times can help you handle the changes more smoothly and build resilience.
Seeking Support: Feeling seen and heard can go a long way to not feeling alone when you are facing a change in your life. Reaching out for support and gaining a different perspective can help you gain new insight during a life transition.
Wellness and Self Care: Sometimes you have to put your own well being first so that you can be more present for others in your life. Therapy can help you focus on your own wellness and self care goals so that you can better regulate your emotions and keep yourself healthy.
Managing Stress and Mental Health Symptoms: Going through a transition can put you through the wringer. Managing stress is key during a time of change and can help you to better cope with mental health symptoms. Struggles with anxiety, depression, and insomnia can all begin or get worse during times of stress. Therapy can help you gain tools to better manage your mental health.
Identity Reevaluation: Throughout life, you are growing, evolving, and changing. Often with more experiences, you can become a better version of yourself. A life transition can change who you are down to your core, but therapy can help you gain perspective and use this change as a chance to grow.
Relationship Dynamics: Just as you grow, evolve, and change throughout life, so do your relationships with partners, friends, and even children. Some relationships grow with you, others can end. Therapy can help you work on these relationships and help you gain insight and clarity into complicated feelings and dynamics.
Finding Meaning and Purpose: A life transition can also cause you to seek new sources of fulfillment and purpose as your priorities shift. Therapy can help you define what really matters to you, work to uncover your core values, and make long term goals to help you with a clearer direction and purpose as you move forward.
Building Confidence: You can do this! Therapy can help you gain confidence in yourself that you can handle anything that life throws your way.
