As we progress through the developmental stages of our lives, sometimes there are problems in adapting to changes or functioning in our lives. Births, death, job changes, divorce, marriage, relationships, and illness are all areas where we can struggle. Counseling can help when you are stuck or are finding that you are unable to function. Sometimes it only takes a few sessions to get to a place where you feel you have improved; but sometimes there are deeper, more resistant areas that need more work, like poor self-esteem or past traumas that keep you from moving on.
Problems that occur during the developmental stages of life or in the transition process can overlap or be made more complicated by other problems such as addictions, mental health disorders, and trauma. Counseling can also help with these complicated problems.

Childhood to adolescence
Adolescence to adulthood
Midlife concerns
Aging concerns
