Book a Free ConsultationWhat Is Life Transitions Therapy?
Life transitions therapy is short- to medium-term support for navigating major change — voluntary or not — when your usual coping doesn't quite fit the moment.
Transitions can bring up grief, identity questions, and uncertainty even when the change itself is positive. This work helps you process what's shifting and make grounded decisions instead of reactive ones.
Sessions typically happen weekly, in 50-minute sessions, either in person in Brooklyn or online across New York.
Signs Transition Support Might Help
Not every transition needs support, but many benefit from it. You might be a fit if:
Transitions rarely announce themselves as hard — they just quietly take up all your bandwidth. Therapy gives that bandwidth somewhere to go.
Our Approach to Life Transitions
We combine ACT-based tools for tolerating uncertainty with a psychodynamic lens for understanding what the transition is bringing up emotionally.
The work is practical and grounded — helping you make decisions and build stability, while also making space for whatever grief, fear, or excitement the change surfaces.

Therapists Who Specialize in Life Transitions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this different from regular individual therapy?
It's closely related — transitions work is really individual therapy with a specific focus on the change you're navigating. If new issues come up, we can widen the focus together.
What if my transition is a good thing, like a promotion or a wedding?
Positive transitions can still bring stress, identity shifts, and grief for what's changing. You don't need something to be 'bad' to benefit from support through it.
How long does this kind of work usually take?
Many clients work through a specific transition in a few months, though some stay longer if new goals emerge. We'll check in on this together.
Can you help me make a decision, like whether to leave a job or relationship?
We will not make the decision for you, but we can help you get clear on your values and fears so the decision feels more like yours and less like guesswork.
Do you offer online sessions for this?
Yes — available anywhere in New York via secure video.
