Family Life-Cycle Changes
Many changes occur in the life cycle of the family from births to deaths. Although these stages are expected they are not always smooth. Difficulties can arise from all of them such as Post-parteum depression, teenage angst, parent and couple stress and grief.
Relationship Break-Ups
Forever is not the case in approximately 50% of marriages. Significant Other relationships are no different. When you build a life around someone and your hopes and dreams and home, children friends etc. are involved and it comes apart there is often a great deal of difficulty getting through this break-up. Garnishing support and being able to sort through the pieces will help you move forward.
Retirement Transitions
After a lifetime of jobs or a career, facing retirement can be exciting, scary and anxiety provoking. Making plans, exploring new options and possibilities, knowing your financial planning can all be helpful to get through this transition.
Career/Job Changes
Changing jobs or career can be both exciting and anxiety provoking as well no matter what the age or reason. Having an objective ear to hear you out and find the right path can be powerful and build confidence.
Health Changes
These changes can be some of the toughest! They may come slowly or quickly, and you are not prepared emotionally whether it's a loved one or you personally. They may interfere in the short term or be long term problems that one needs to adapt to. Absorbing the impact is none the less a big adjustment.
Weight Loss Support
When one is dealing with weight and food issues support is especially needed. The pain and secrets abound and having a professional to guide you can help give you the confidence and power you need to succeed.
Anxiety & Depression
These to emotions often go hand in hand and are caused by off shoots of other life adjustments/ issues. Reviewing your emotional history, helping you become aware of your own process will help you reach a positive result and hopefully be empowering for the future.
Women's Issues
Have you hit the glass ceiling? Are you concerned about kids issues or your marriage? Sorting out feelings and options will help you gain insight and feel empowered to attack your life’s challenges.
