Life transitions therapy in New York
Change is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean it always feels easy. Whether you are becoming a parent, moving through a career shift, navigating a new relationship, or redefining your identity, life transitions can stir up anxiety, grief, or self-doubt. Many of my clients share that they feel overwhelmed by expectations, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about the next step.
You do not have to figure it out alone.
As a Latina therapist in NYC, I specialize in supporting BIPOC and first-gen adults during times of transition. These seasons often bring cultural and family pressures to the surface. You may feel pulled between honoring your roots and carving out your own path, or you may notice old wounds showing up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, or burnout. Therapy offers a safe space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most to you.
Why life transitions can feel overwhelming
Transitions, whether chosen or unexpected, can shift the ground beneath your feet. A new career, a big move, a relationship change, or becoming a parent can disrupt your routines, identity, and sense of stability.
For BIPOC and first-generation adults, these changes often come with added layers. You may face family expectations and cultural narratives about what “success” should look like. You may feel pressure to handle challenges on your own because you have always been the strong one. You may carry guilt or fear when making decisions that differ from your upbringing or community norms.
Even if you have always been capable and accomplished, these moments can stir feelings of self-doubt, uncertainty, or grief for the life you are leaving behind.
Why therapy helps during life transitions
Life changes can trigger unresolved feelings from the past while also testing your ability to cope in the present. Through therapy, you will:
Understand how your story and background shape your current patterns
Reduce stress and anxiety by building grounding practices
Strengthen boundaries and relationships without guilt
Reconnect with your identity, values, and goals
Move forward with greater clarity and confidence
