Life Transitions - New York Psychological Wellness, PC

Life changes are stressful.

Jane* was certain she wanted to retire. She looked forward to years of happiness – living her life without punching into the nine-to-five. And for the first few months after her retirement party, she did just that – she woke up when she wanted, saw movies during the day, did some travelling and other “fun” stuff.

What she wasn’t expecting was the emotional punch in the gut she received only months after leaving work. One afternoon, she woke up feeling sad and lost. She didn’t know what to do with herself anymore. What was her purpose?

Suddenly, she found herself enveloped in a black cloud with no way out.

Jane’s experience is not unique.

Drastic changes in life can affect your psychological (and physical) well-being.

These changes could involve the loss of a loved one; moving to a new environment; loss of a relationship; bodily changes; starting/leaving school; starting/losing a job; losing the ability to drive a car; and more.

You don’t have to face them alone.

Together, we can work through these issues allowing for a smoother adjustment to changes in your life.
