Divorce, death, moving, medical illnesses and loss of a job are a few transitional stages people will experience in their lifetime.  For some, it will seem painless, but for others, it can be strenuous and uncomfortable.  Many of these changes are already predictable, but you may not be prepared to deal with them at the time they occur.

When clients come to Emerge facing a life transition and feeling distressed, we work together to navigate through and take it on as a challenge, not a threat.  You will learn to reflect, focus, realize and truly understand that changes are inherent in life.  Treatment approach often begins with individual therapy but is not unusual to bring in other family members who are going through the changes with you.  This develops your support network through the transition.

One of the most important specifics to keep in mind is to make sure the therapist you’re working with is a good fit for you.  They should understand your needs and wants and be free of bias so don’t be afraid to ask questions.
