Life Transitions Therapy Ontario | When Everything Feels Different
Support through divorce, loss, career changes, and life's unexpected turns. Because major transitions weren't meant to be navigated alone.
When Life Pulls the Rug Out
One day you're on solid ground, the next everything's shifting. Whether it's a relationship ending, a job loss, a death, or just the unsettling feeling that life isn't what you thought it would be - transition is disorienting.
The Transition Experience:
- The Disorientation: Nothing feels familiar anymore, even things that haven't changed
- The Identity Questions: "Who am I without this relationship/job/role?"
- The Emotional Whiplash: Fine one moment, devastated the next
- The Decision Paralysis: Every choice feels monumentally important
- The Isolation: Everyone else seems to have their life together
Going through a major life change? You don't have to figure it out alone.

How Therapy Helps During Transitions
Making Sense of the Chaos
Transitions are messy. We'll create space to process what's happening without rushing to "fix" everything.
Grieving What Was
Even positive changes involve loss. We'll acknowledge what you're leaving behind without minimizing its importance.
Finding Your Footing
Identifying what remains constant when everything else is changing. Your values, strengths, and core self.
Building What's Next
Not rushing into the future, but thoughtfully creating a life that fits who you're becoming.
My Approach to Transition Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Focusing on what you can control while accepting what you cannot. Finding meaning even in difficult changes.
Grief-Informed Support
Understanding that transition involves grief, even when the change is chosen or positive.
Narrative Therapy
Rewriting your story in a way that honors the past while opening to the future.
Practical Planning
Balancing emotional processing with concrete steps forward.
What to Expect in Our Work

There's Life After This
Whatever transition you're facing, you don't have to figure it out alone. Change is hard, but it doesn't have to break you.
Common Thoughts During Transition:
- "I don't know who I am anymore"
- "Will I ever feel normal again?"
- "Everyone else seems to handle this better"
- "I should be over this by now"
- "What if I'm making a mistake?"
All of these are normal. All of these are workable.
You don't have to navigate this alone.
