Life Transitions

Support for your life transitions

Life transitions are a natural and inevitable part of our lives, shaping who we are and how we move forward. These pivotal moments—whether filled with joy or marked by challenge—can deeply influence our emotional and mental well-being. At Trisha Johnson Therapy Group, we understand how overwhelming and uncertain these changes can feel. Whether you’re navigating a new chapter or recovering from an unexpected shift, we are here to help you regain confidence.

What Are Life Transitions?

A life transition is any major event or change that reshapes the way you live, think and feel. These moments can take many forms, from exciting milestones to painful losses, and everything in between. Some common life transitions include: 

• Getting married or entering a committed relationship 
• Navigating a divorce or separation 
• Becoming a parent or welcoming a new child 
• Moving to a new city or home 
• Starting a new career or retiring from one 
• The loss of a loved one or a cherished pet 
• Coping with illness, disability or recovery 
• Reaching a significant birthday or milestone 

While these changes are often life-defining, the adjustments they require can be challenging, even when the transition is a positive one. 

How Life Transitions Impact Mental Health

Life transitions, whether joyful or difficult, disrupt the routines and roles that bring stability to our lives. This disruption can sometimes overwhelm your mind and body, leading to feelings of anxiety, stress and even depression. Some may find themselves grieving the comfort of what was familiar, while others might feel unprepared for what lies ahead. These feelings are entirely normal. 

Even positive changes like getting married or starting a dream job can bring unexpected emotional strain. You may find yourself doubting your ability to handle the change, worrying about the future or feeling exhausted by everything you need to adjust to. Negative or traumatic transitions, such as a loss or health diagnosis, can deepen those feelings and create further challenges. At Trisha Johnson Therapy Group, our team is here to help you normalize, process and overcome the emotional impact of life transitions.
