Major Life Transitions Therapy | Somatic Psychotherapy in NYC

Navigating change with steadiness, support, 

and self-trust.

Change—even when chosen—can shake the ground beneath us.

Transitions like graduating, starting a new job, moving to a new city, changing careers, becoming a parent, ending a relationship or losing a loved one can stir up grief, anxiety, disorientation, and a deep sense of vulnerability.

Transitions aren’t detours—they’re thresholds.

Major life transitions affect every layer of our being—emotional, physical, relational, even spiritual—and deserve to be met with care, presence, and support.

At Somatic Psychotherapy, we offer body-based therapy to help you move through change with steadiness, awareness, and self-compassion.

Transitions aren’t just logistical—they’re deeply emotional. Therapy can help you stay rooted while everything else is shifting.

You’re grieving a breakup, job loss, or death of a loved one

You’ve entered a new chapter—parenthood, career, location—but feel lost or disoriented




You keep wondering, “Who am I now?”






You’re holding conflicting emotions: grief, relief, fear, excitement






You feel like you should be “handling it better” but aren’t








You feel anxious, numb, or unsettled—without a clear reason why






You know you’re in-between—but don’t know what’s next






Honor the losses, grief, and identity shifts that change brings



Process anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelm that arise in new roles or unfamiliar territory



Cultivate inner steadiness during times of uncertainty










Reconnect with your intuition, values, and direction

Build resilience and emotional flexibility for the road ahead
