Life Transitions & Stress Counseling in in Orange County and Throughout California
Even Good Changes Can Feel Overwhelming.
Let’s Navigate the Unknown Together.
Life doesn’t always follow the script we imagined—and even when it does, big changes can bring unexpected emotions. Whether you're facing a new beginning, an ending, or you're somewhere in between, transitions often stir up anxiety, grief, self-doubt, or a loss of identity.
At Full Vida Therapy, we support teens and adults across California through life transitions both expected and sudden. Our goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and connected as you move through seasons of uncertainty and growth.
Common Life Transitions We Support
Life transitions aren’t just external—they affect your identity, routines, relationships, and inner world. We support clients navigating:
Starting or leaving a job or school
Graduating or stepping into adulthood
Moving to a new city or country
Becoming a parent
Breakups, divorce, or changes in relationship roles
Empty nest, retirement, or aging
Faith transitions or spiritual shifts
Loss of identity or sense of purpose
Coming out or exploring identity
You don’t have to “have it all figured out” to begin.
Signs You May Be Struggling with a Transition
Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or emotionally numb
High anxiety, irritability, or mood swings
Self-doubt or imposter syndrome
Trouble sleeping or racing thoughts
Grief over “the old version” of yourself
Difficulty making decisions or taking next steps
Big change can feel destabilizing—even if it’s something you chose.
Our Approach to Therapy for Life Transitions
We offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down and sort through the thoughts and emotions that come with change. Therapy may include:
Emotion-focused support – Give space to grief, fear, excitement, or uncertainty
Identity & values exploration – Clarify who you are and what matters now
Cognitive restructuring – Challenge overwhelming or self-defeating thoughts
Goal setting & life planning – Build confidence around next steps
Mindfulness tools – Stay grounded and present through the unknown
You get to define what this next chapter looks like—and we’ll be here to support you as you write it.
Therapy for Teens dealing with Life Transitions
Transitions like graduating, starting high school or college, identity exploration, parental divorce or separation, or shifting peer relationships can be especially hard for teens. We create a warm, understanding space where they can process change and grow into the next stage of their lives with support.
You’re Allowed to Pause Before You Leap
This chapter might feel messy. That’s okay. Therapy is a space to exhale, realign with your values, and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
