As my grandmother used to say in her broken English, “Life, is no easy.” This was her conclusion from rotating around the sun for over 9 decades.
What had she seen? Death, war, political imprisonment, military service, immigration, adjustment to new cultures, illness and chronic pain, trauma, and substance abuse in loved ones to name only some experiences. Whew!
She had seen A LOT, survived a lot, and was validating the fact that despite surviving it all, it was not easy. These are just highlights from one person’s story. We all can list our life highlights in this way and stand back with amazement of what we’ve survived.
support for life changes
with online therapy
You may have gone through some of these conditions or other experiences that are uniquely yours. Perhaps some of the hardships you faced still linger; you may still carry stress/tension, sadness, anxiety, discomfort, guilt, or resentment about what you’ve endured.
Sadly for my grandmother’s generation, therapy was frowned upon. Luckily for us, therapy is becoming is as normal as going to the dentist or family doctor; seeing a professional therapist is part of the maintenance of our healthcare.

how can life transitions impact me?
Through major shifts or even minor changes, we experience stress and tension impacting our mind, emotions, and bodies. This leaves us trying to regain homeostasis, or a sense of balance.
Sometimes the changes are so jarring we struggle to adjust; in some cases we might be able to handle one change but life has other plans and presents many changes simultaneously. When we become overloaded, it can sometimes lead us to struggle with mental and physical effects temporarily or with pronounced, longer-lasting effects.
Signs you may be struggling to adjust to life changes:
insomnia or excessive sleeping / napping
loss of energy
changes in appetite
physical symptoms like headache, upset stomach, muscle tensions
feeling out of sorts / self-doubt
feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or irritable
An assessment by a psychologist can help determine the severity of the situation and thus determine the most appropriate treatment plan. If you think this might apply to you, reach out for a Free 15 minute Consult.
counseling for Adjusting to a new phase of life
AROSE eTherapy® offers online counseling to adults who may be struggling to adjust to new developmental phases in life. Although passing through different developmental phases from childhood to old age is a normal part of the human experience, it doesn’t mean it’s easy.
counseling for emerging adulthood
Emerging adulthood was first identified as a unique developmental phase by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett in his seminal American Psychologist article published in 2000. In the article he explained how with shifts in society such as industrialization, the transition into adulthood from adolescence had become somewhat extended as individuals could take more time to explore education and career paths. Previous markers of adulthood such as buying a home, getting married, and having a baby were no longer clear markers of adulthood. Rather, markers shifted to making independent decisions, becoming financially independent, and taking responsibility for actions.
With this time of transition can also come risk taking behaviors such as driving recklessly, taking greater sexual risks, and abusing substances. AROSE eTherapy® offers online support to those 18-29 year old emerging adults who are struggling to find their way.
Counseling for midlife adjustments
Services are also available to those who struggle with developmental phases like adjusting to midlife changes whether social or physical. Perhaps your teens are leaving home, you’re beginning to notice perimenopausal symptoms, or you just don’t have the energy you did in your 20s. We can talk about that through safe, secure virtual counseling sessions.
counseling for adjustment to retirement
Retirement also brings up a great deal of emotions for people as the career they worked so hard to build up is shutting down. Although some may welcome the rest and flexibility in their schedule, processing the changes through virtual psychotherapy can be beneficial.
health status changes:
accident, new diagnosis
No one ever wants to experience an injury or serious accident or be told they’ve been given a new health diagnosis. Yet the harsh reality of life is these problems can happen, and when they do, it’s shocking, dumbfounding, and sometimes like a living nightmare.
Most anyone would be overwhelmed in such a situation. That’s an absolutely normal reaction to an awful situation. So please, don’t feel like you have to be extra strong at one of your most vulnerable times.

moving stress
Moving can seem so exciting when you are surfing Zillow, but the realities include developing a new social circle, finding your way around town, and adjusting to your new climate. The move likely accompanies other life or role changes like a new career position, retirement, or family obligations. AROSE eTherapy® is here to support you through this time of transition.
counseling for life design
AROSE eTherapy & Life Design® is so named to capture the idea that you are not only working through places where you may be stuck, but considering how you want to design your life going forward. Life design is conceptualized as deliberately choosing not only what you envision for your life path, but how you craft your time—5 year, 1 year, monthly, weekly, and daily plans. For us to feel fulfilled in life, it’s crucial we incorporate not just work everyday but all values—family, hobbies, exercise, and anything else that is of value to you.
how do I find step-by-step solutions?
It’s great to have long-term plans, but in approaching life from an angle of gratitude and mindfulness, it’s so important we consider how we want to spend our days, being fully present in each day and living a life that is congruent with what we love and find purpose in.
Beyond our daily planners, life design can also incorporate how we honor our bodies through nutrition and exercise, how we exercise our minds through challenges and growth, how we live in balance emotionally, how we find fulfillment in relationships, and even how we design the spaces that surround us from our vehicles to our homes and bedrooms. It may be time to truly reflect on whether this is the life you love or if it’s time for a new design.
ONLINE COUNSELING CAN support you through life changes
If any of this sounds familiar, it may be time to seek support as you go through life changes. Although life changes can be a normal part of life, big life changes, multiple life changes, or excessive overwhelm left ignored can lead to clinical conditions like an adjustment disorder, insomnia, depression, or anxiety. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or needing support for depression, worry, or sleeplessness, reach out today for a Free 15 Minute Consult and let’s talk about how we can get you feeling better.
