Major Life Transitions

Therapists for Major Life Transitions in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients

Major life transitions can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether it’s starting a new job, going through a divorce, retiring, relocating, becoming a parent, or navigating the loss of a loved one, these changes often bring emotional challenges. People commonly experience anxiety, grief, uncertainty, or even a loss of identity during transitional periods. Even positive transitions, like graduating or getting married, can trigger stress and adjustment difficulties. If you’re feeling unsettled, stuck, or unsure about your next steps, you’re not alone.

Therapy for major life transitions provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your feelings and regain your footing.
