Life rarely stays the same for long. Even changes we choose, or hope for, can feel unsettling once we’re living inside them.
Sessions are available in person and virtually, so you can access help in a way that fits your life.
At Sohail Counseling, we offer life transitions counseling for adults navigating change across West Dundee, IL, Chicago, IL, and throughout Illinois & Michigan. Whether you’re facing an unexpected shift or a long-anticipated transition, life transitions therapy provides space to slow down, process what’s happening, and move forward with greater clarity and steadiness.
Who Life Transitions Therapy Is For
Therapy for life transitions may be a good fit if you are:
Feeling overwhelmed, ungrounded, or emotionally stuck after a major change
Experiencing anxiety, grief, or uncertainty about what’s next
Navigating an identity shift related to work, relationships, family, or self
Questioning direction, meaning, or priorities in this season of life
Looking for a life transition therapist who can help you make sense of change
You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support. Many people reach out simply because the old ways of coping no longer feel sufficient.
Common Life Transitions Examples
Life transitions can be sudden or gradual, expected or unexpected. Some common life transitions examples we help clients navigate include:
Career changes, job loss, or workplace burnout
Starting or ending a relationship, separation, or divorce
Becoming a parent or adjusting to caregiving roles
Empty nesting or changes in family dynamics
Relocation or major lifestyle shifts
Grief and loss, including the death of a loved one
Health changes, illness, or disability
Identity exploration related to culture, faith, gender, or sexuality
Entering a new stage of adulthood or questioning life direction
Even positive transitions can bring grief, stress, or self-doubt. Therapy offers space to hold all of it- without judgment.
