Question 2

What kinds of Life Transitions do therapists help with?

Question 3

How many sessions do I need for a Life Transition?

Accepted Answer

It is reasonable to want a sense of the commitment, in time and cost, before you start. There is no set number of sessions, so ask a therapist how they structure care and how you will review progress together. On Alma, filter therapists in Walnut Creek who help with Life Transitions by insurance so you can plan around cost as well.

Question 4

Can I see a therapist if I am mostly fine but going through a lot?

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 Walnut Creek 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.
