Question 1

Should I see a therapist about a big change in my life?

On Alma, compare therapists in Pasadena who help with Life Transitions and ask each one how they usually structure shorter pieces of work.

Question 4

Do I need something to be wrong to see a therapist about a change?

Question 5

Can I see a therapist about a change I chose?

Accepted Answer

A change you chose can still bring stress, loss, or doubt, and that can be confusing when you expected to feel relieved. You can talk that through with a licensed therapist, who can help you make sense of mixed feelings about it. On Alma, browse therapists in Pasadena who help with Life Transitions and read how each one works.

Question 6

What happens to therapy if I move to another state?

Accepted Answer

Planning a move is stressful enough without wondering what happens to your care. A therapist licensed only in California can see you virtually only while you are in California. Some therapists hold licenses in more than one state, so ask before a move if you want to keep working together. On Alma, you can also look for a therapist licensed in your new state.

Is online therapy an option during a Life Transition in Pasadena, CA?
