Life Transitions

Change can feel like losing your footing.
Transcendent Self Therapy helps you steady yourself, listen inward, and choose what’s next with care.

Get Started

Change is hard. That’s not to say we can’t try to resist or avoid it! But ultimately, as a consequence of our mortality, change is inevitable. Over the course of our lives we’ll experience many changes: making and losing friends, being in and out of relationships, marriage, divorce, pregnancy, miscarriage, childbirth. Pursuing higher education, exploring and changing careers. Promotions. Moving. Aging. Our parents’ aging. Our children growing up. Chronic or terminal illnesses.

Change can be wondrous, scary, and challenging. When it becomes debilitating is when there is cause for great concern and a need for intervention. Sometimes “going it alone” doesn’t work anymore. Or perhaps you have a strong support system but it still isn’t enough to get you through a period of intense difficulty in your life. This doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human and you’ve just got nothing left to give at this particular point in time.

This is where our therapists step in. You won’t need to worry that you’re burdening us with your troubles, as you might feel with your other support networks. We will listen with empathy and be with you through your struggle. By providing you tools for coping and helping you to expand your outlook on your future, you’ll be equipped to move through this period of your life with new hope and confidence.
