Confidently Navigate Life Transitions with King Family Therapy
Are you adjusting to a new role, responsibility, or stage of life?
Do you feel pressure to “have it all figured out” during this transition?
Are you questioning your identity, direction, or sense of purpose?
Life is a series of transitions and changes, each with their unique challenges and opportunities. We understand that these moments of change can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. That's why we are here to provide the guidance and support you need to adapt, thrive, and face life's transitions with confidence.
Our Approach
Our approach to therapy for life transitions focuses on helping you make sense of change without pressure to “fix” it quickly. We work collaboratively to understand what this transition is bringing up emotionally, practically, and in how you see yourself while identifying what feels uncertain, what feels lost, and what matters moving forward. Our work draws from CBT, EMDR, depth psychology, mindfulness, and spiritual perspectives, integrating reflection with practical tools to help you navigate change with greater clarity, steadiness, and confidence as you adjust to this new phase of life.
