UNDERSTANDING LIFE ADJUSTMENTS

Change can bring more than one feeling.

A move, career change, relationship shift, health concern, or new responsibility can change how daily life feels. You may feel hopeful about what comes next while also missing what was familiar.

Therapy offers space to sort through those feelings, understand your needs, and consider your next steps. Seeking support with a transition does not mean you have a mental health disorder.

A change can be right for you and still take time to adjust to.
HOW IT CAN SHOW UP

When familiar things begin to shift.

These are some experiences people may bring to therapy during a transition. Your circumstances, feelings, and support needs are individual.

Uncertainty about what comes next

Feeling unsure about your direction, decisions, or how a change will unfold.

Mixed emotions

Experiencing excitement, sadness, relief, or worry alongside one another.

Shifting roles or identity

Reconsidering how you see yourself as responsibilities or circumstances change.

Changes in relationships

Adjusting to different expectations, boundaries, or ways of connecting with others.

Disrupted routines

Finding familiar habits or daily rhythms harder to maintain during a transition.

Missing what was familiar

Feeling a sense of loss for a place, role, relationship, or chapter you have left behind.

CARE SHAPED AROUND YOU

LIFE ADJUSTMENTS THERAPY

Questions are welcome.

You can begin with questions about a change you are navigating or the support available. Here are answers to some common questions about getting started.
WHAT KINDS OF LIFE CHANGES CAN WE DISCUSS IN THERAPY?
You can bring concerns about changes in work, relationships, family roles, health, location, or daily responsibilities. This may include a move, career change, separation, retirement, caregiving, or another transition that feels significant to you. Therapy provides space to explore what the change means for you and what support you need as you adjust.
DO I NEED AN ADJUSTMENT DISORDER DIAGNOSIS TO SEEK SUPPORT?
No. Seeking therapy for a life change does not mean you have an adjustment disorder. You can reach out for support with stress, uncertainty, decisions, or shifting priorities without an existing diagnosis. If symptoms suggest a mental health condition, assessment can help clarify your needs. If you plan to use insurance, Megan can explain any assessment and diagnosis requirements associated with your coverage.
CAN THERAPY HELP WITH CHANGES I WANTED OR CHOSE?
Yes. You can seek support with a change you welcomed or chose. Starting a new job, moving, becoming a parent, or entering a new relationship can bring questions and mixed emotions. Therapy offers room to discuss what feels meaningful, what feels difficult, and how your needs or priorities may be changing.
HOW DOES MEGAN APPROACH LIFE ADJUSTMENTS THERAPY?
Megan begins by understanding your experiences, concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, you can explore the effects of change, patterns of thinking, relationships, coping, and what matters to you now. The work is collaborative, with attention to practical steps and room to adjust as your circumstances evolve. Treatment approaches are discussed according to your needs.
CAN WE MEET ONLINE?
Megan offers online therapy for clients located in Texas, as well as in-person sessions in Melissa. When you reach out, she can discuss availability and whether online or in-person care is appropriate for your needs. Online sessions can provide a way to continue receiving support while navigating changes in routines or responsibilities.
READY WHEN YOU ARE

You do not have to navigate change alone.

You do not need a clear plan before reaching out. Begin with what has changed, what feels uncertain, or what you would like support with.

Private-pay therapy is $165 for a 60-minute session.
