Life Transitions Therapy in Altamonte Springs

Navigating Life Transitions with Support and Clarity

Change Can Be Overwhelming — You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone

Life transitions are inevitable — but that doesn’t make them easy. Even changes that seem “positive” on the outside, like moving, getting married, or starting a new job, can bring up anxiety, grief, uncertainty, or a sense of identity loss. And when transitions are unwanted — like a breakup, job loss, illness, or the death of a loved one — they can feel deeply destabilizing.

Whether expected or unexpected, big life changes can leave you feeling ungrounded, stuck, or unsure of who you are now.

Common Life Transitions We Support

At New Light Counseling, we support clients through transitions such as:

Breakups, separation, or divorce
Relocation or moving away from support systems
Career changes, job loss, or workplace stress
Graduation, entering college, or early adulthood
Becoming a parent or navigating family shifts
Loss of a loved one or caregiving roles
Identity shifts or spiritual changes
Midlife or existential transitions

If you’re struggling with adjustment, it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human — and that you're doing your best to adapt in the face of change.

Our Approach to Life Transition Therapy

We believe that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful space for navigating change. At New Light Counseling, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space to process what you’re going through, reconnect with your values, and find clarity for what’s next.

Our therapy is:

Relational and client-centered – we build trust so you feel seen and supported
Trauma-informed – we honor your lived experience and move at your pace
Evidence-based – integrating CBT, narrative therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, and more
Emotionally honest – offering real talk with compassion, humor, and warmth

Transitions may feel disorienting — but they also hold the possibility of growth. Together, we can make space for grief, explore your questions, and help you step into a new chapter with more confidence and self-trust.

Therapy Can Help You:

Cope with uncertainty and anxiety

Grieve what you’ve left behind
Reconnect with your values and identity
Build emotional resilience and grounding tools
Clarify what’s next and regain a sense of agency
