Counseling to help you cope with change
Life transitions and change are constant throughout our life. Even when they are positive changes, they often bring stress, anxiety, and adjustments. At Heights Family Counseling, we find it an honor to be able to journey with you through different stages of life. We know that as humans, we cope best when we know we have someone in our corner and supporting us through our journey.
There are so many different kinds of life transitions. But one thing they have in common is the feelings of upheaval they cause. Regardless of what transition you're experiencing, we have your back.
Common life transitions include:
Starting college
Ending a relationship
Beginning a new job or new role in your organization,
A global pandemic (working from home, unemployment, health scares and more)
Getting married
Having children
Moving to a new city
Counseling for New Parents
Adding a child to a relationship can be one of the most exciting journeys a couple can go through. But, it can also place a lot of stress on your marriage marriage and relationship. Many Moms and Dads struggle as they adjust to their new role. They may even feel like they are losing their old identities. Especially if they're transitioning into being a stay-at-home parent. Our compassionate therapists are trained in research based interventions to help support this exciting journey. Becoming Us, is a curriculum designed to help with the transition of parenthood. In addition, we use the Bringing Baby Home curriculum. It is designed to help couples prepare their relationship for the transition of parenthood.
Grief Counseling
One of the most difficult life transitions, is the loss of a loved one. Grief can shake up your entire world. Maybe, you've become so lost in your grief that you do not recognize your world without your loved one. It can leave you feeling hopeless, disoriented, in a state of constant shock or pain, and feeling lonely. While the pain of grief feels impossible to overcome, it is also one of the certainties in life. This grief can create new beginnings and a journey in your life. Our grief counselors help you cope with grief in individual therapy or in couples therapy. We understand that grief takes many forms and goes through many stages. It can even appear in loss of our vision, life goals, or the family and life we thought we would have. We take pride in being able to support you as you cope with the loss, hold and support your emotions, and helping you create new meaning in your world.
Divorce counseling and Breakup Counseling
Ending a relationship is something that causes many people to start counseling. This transition can be especially difficult because the person you normally would go to for support, is the person causing negative feelings. Sometimes, you lose friendships and other support groups during the break-up or divorce. And, when there are children involved this transition can feel completely overwhelming. Our relationship therapists are trained to provide you a safe space to help you cope with your emotions. Then, we will provide you with tools to help you navigate these uncharted waters.
