Adjustment & Integration

Navigating Life Transitions

"Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final."

— Rainer Maria Rilke

Significant life events—whether anticipated transitions like career changes or sudden upheavals such as loss or illness—can disrupt your foundational sense of agency. In the fast-paced environment of New York City, these changes are often intensified by professional expectations and the pressure to appear "unfazed," creating a state of internal paralysis or Adjustment Disorder.

Therapy provides a structured space to explore these experiences. We look beyond the event itself to understand its impact on your identity, helping you move from reactive survival to intentional integration.

Restoring Self-Efficacy

Feeling "stuck" often arises from the tension between an old reality and a new, uninvited one. This dissonance can erode confidence and create a cycle of powerlessness. In therapy, we identify the cognitive and emotional barriers that prevent forward movement and work to restore your sense of competence.

• Career & Identity Shifts: Navigating the psychological impact of professional transitions and "second acts."
• Relational Upheaval: Processing the end of long-term partnerships or shifts in family dynamics.
• Existential Integration: Finding meaning and growth after unexpected setbacks or loss.

Recover, Renew, Rebuild

Recovery is not about returning to the person you were before the change, but about integrating the experience into a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. Therapy focuses on developing practical strategies to restore balance and self-efficacy—the belief in your ability to handle whatever comes next.

By challenging unhelpful thought patterns and uncovering the roots of reactive fears, we build a pathway toward a life aligned with your core values. Therapy helps you renew your confidence and ensures that your next chapter is grounded in insight, agency, and authentic growth.
