Major Life Transitions

Therapists for Major Life Transitions in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients

Major life transitions can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether it’s starting a new job, going through a divorce, retiring, relocating, becoming a parent, or navigating the loss of a loved one, these changes often bring emotional challenges. People commonly experience anxiety, grief, uncertainty, or even a loss of identity during transitional periods. Even positive transitions, like graduating or getting married, can trigger stress and adjustment difficulties. If you’re feeling unsettled, stuck, or unsure about your next steps, you’re not alone.

Therapy for major life transitions provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your feelings and regain your footing. Westside Behavioral Care therapists use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and supportive counseling to help clients process change, build resilience, and find meaning. Our providers meet you where you are emotionally and offer compassionate tools for managing uncertainty, reducing anxiety, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

 

Appointments are available in person across the Greater Denver Area, including Littleton, Aurora, Arvada, Centennial, and Broomfield, or through secure online therapy statewide. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other insurance plans.
