Life Transition Therapy in Calgary
What are Life Transitions?
Life transitions are the natural turning points that shape our human journey—moments when one chapter closes and another begins. These can include starting a new career, moving to a different place, beginning or ending a relationship, becoming a parent, or even adjusting to changes in health or identity. While transitions can bring growth, excitement, and renewal, they can also stir uncertainty, loss, and emotional strain. These periods are meaningful opportunities for reflection, healing, and personal transformation. With the right support and compassion in therapy, navigating life’s changes can help us connect more deeply with ourselves and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.
Does This Resonate With You?
“I feel unsteady and unsure of myself as I move through this change.”
“Even positive transitions feel overwhelming, and I’m not sure how to adjust.”
“I’m grieving what I’m leaving behind while also trying to step into something new.”
“I feel lost between chapters and don’t know what direction to take next.”
Increased anxiety, worry, or feelings of overwhelm
Sadness, low mood, or tearfulness
