Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce, or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?

There’s no denying that life often presents us with challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused, and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to overcome adversity and transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself. At Therapy By Choice, we offer life transitions therapy, offering guidance and support for San Jose, California, residents through these critical moments. Whether you’re facing a major life event like a marriage, divorce, starting a family, or coping with an affair, our compassionate life transition therapists are here to help you navigate these changes and forge a confident path forward.

Treating Life Transitions as Opportunities for Growth

Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted nor expected, can influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves. Some of the life transitions we help clients navigate here at Therapy By Choice are:

• Moving away to college
• Adjusting to university life or your first professional job
• Getting married
• Having a new baby
• Parenting
• Empty nesting syndrome
• Breakup, separation, or divorce
• Infidelity recovery
• Retirement
• Job loss or major change in career
• Relocation
• Financial gain/loss
• Serious illness or disability
• Issues pertaining to aging
• Death of a loved one
• Questioning the meaning of life
• Questioning your faith/spirituality
• Questioning your sexual/gender identity

The approach we take focuses on helping individuals find strategies that work to manage their stress and helping couples learn to communicate effectively, rebuild trust, and find common ground so they can face change together. Our therapists are skilled in various therapeutic approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to address trauma and anxiety related to life transitions.
