Life Transitions Therapy in New York

Change can be disorienting, even when it’s something you chose. Divorce, career shifts, loss, relocation, identity changes, or unexpected life events can shake your sense of stability and self. You may feel anxious, untethered, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are in this new chapter.

I provide life transitions therapy in New York (telehealth across NY State) for adults navigating major life changes who want grounded support, emotional clarity, and practical direction forward.

Anxiety During Life Transitions

Major change naturally activates the nervous system. You might notice:

  • Difficulty sleeping

  • Overthinking and catastrophic thinking

  • Irritability or emotional numbness

  • Physical tension or restlessness

  • Fear of making the “wrong” choice

Therapy for anxiety during life transitions focuses on:

  • Nervous system regulation tools

  • Understanding attachment and control patterns

  • Increasing tolerance for uncertainty

  • Building decision-making confidence

  • Creating structure in ambiguous periods

Anxiety often signals that something important is shifting. Instead of trying to eliminate it, we work to understand it and reduce its intensity so it doesn’t run your life.

Identity, Meaning & Self-Awareness

Life transitions often bring deeper questions:

  • Who am I now?

  • What do I want moving forward?

  • What patterns do I want to change?

  • How do I create relationships that feel healthier this time?

Our work together focuses on increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and clarity, so this chapter becomes an intentional turning point rather than something you just survive.

Therapy for Major Life Changes

If you’re searching for a therapist for major life changes, you may be experiencing:

  • Anxiety, panic, or racing thoughts about the future

  • Grief over the life you thought you’d have

  • Loss of identity after a relationship, job, or role shift

  • Decision fatigue and self-doubt

  • Feeling “behind” or disconnected from peers

  • Emotional ups and downs that feel hard to manage

Life transitions often activate old attachment patterns and nervous system responses. Therapy helps you slow down, understand what’s happening internally, and build steadiness so you can respond with intention instead of reactivity.

Divorce Therapy in NY

Divorce and separation are more than legal processes, they’re emotional, relational, and identity shifts.

As a divorce therapist in NY, I work with individuals navigating:

  • The shock and grief of separation

  • Anger, betrayal, or unresolved conflict

  • Co-parenting stress and boundary challenges

  • Fear of starting over

  • Rebuilding confidence in dating and relationships

  • Reclaiming your sense of self

Divorce can feel like both an ending and an unwanted beginning. Therapy provides a structured space to process the loss, learn from the relationship, and move toward healthier future connections.

Therapy for Career Transitions

Career changes, whether chosen or unexpected, can deeply impact self-worth, identity, and stability.

If you’re looking for a therapist for career transitions, therapy can help when you’re:

  • Leaving a long-term profession

  • Experiencing burnout or corporate fatigue

  • Navigating layoffs or job uncertainty

  • Stepping into leadership and feeling imposter syndrome

  • Questioning your purpose or direction

  • Balancing ambition with personal fulfillment

High-achieving adults often tie identity to performance. When work shifts, it can feel like your foundation shifts too. Therapy helps you separate who you are from what you do—so your worth isn’t dependent on achievement alone.

My Approach

I work collaboratively and at your pace, integrating:

  • Attachment-informed therapy

  • Nervous system regulation strategies

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • EMDR-informed processing when appropriate

  • Practical tools for communication, boundaries, and confidence

Life transitions can feel destabilizing, but they can also become opportunities for deep growth. With support, you can move from feeling reactive and overwhelmed to grounded and self-directed.
