Life Transitions & Identity Shifts
Online Therapy for Women in Illinois
Providing Online Support to Women in Illinois and Kansas
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You’re going through a major life transition, which brings about all kinds of shifts. Perhaps you’re entering adulthood feel overwhelmed by all the decisions you have to make and the pressure of ‘getting it just right’. Or you’re a new mom and are now wondering who you are as you can barely recognize yourself anymore. Or perhaps you’re moving or stepping into a new role at work. All of these changes can shake your sense of self and stability-Trust me, you’re not alone.
These changes have a way of brining up old stories about who you’re ‘supposed’ to be, often shaped by culture, family expectations, and past experiences. It’s natural to start feeling lost, stuck, or unsure of where you belong or where to go from here.
In therapy, I help women gently explore their identity in the midst of these transitions, looking at the narratives formed in childhood and adulthood and how they’re impacting your present. Together, we’ll sit with questions like “Who am I?” and “Where do I fit?” and slowly peel back the layers, so you can feel more grounded, authentic, and accepting of who you are becoming.
Seasons of life that bring about change are great times to reach out for additional support
Something about how people experience and what it looks like:
Increased anxiety
Grief (Sadness, anger…)
Changes in your mood
Questioning who you are, your life choices
Feeling emotionally numb or reactive
Feeling internally overwhelmed
Therapy is a great space where you can explore changes, values, and needs in a safe space.
HI! I’M CECILIA, A LICENSED CLINICAL THERAPIST WHO SPECIALIZES IN SUPPORTING WOMEN THROUGH LIFE’S TRANSITIONS
Therapy for Anxiety, Life Transitions and Identity Shifts.
As a therapist and a an individual I have both witnessed and experienced how difficult life’s transitions and identity shifts can be. I know how overwhelming it feels like to experience change and not being sure as to where to go from here or who you’re ‘supposed’ to be through it all.
My therapy practice specializes in supporting women and young adults of diverse backgrounds by supporting them through various life’s transitions. I work with women who are high-achievers, outwardly making it all work and getting things done but internally, find themselves feeling anxious and overwhelmed, feel doubtful of themselves, experience impostor syndrome, and feel unfulfilled or unsure of their purpose.
As a humanistic and integrative therapist, I want to deeply know you and know deep inside you have the answers you’re searching for. With a little help, you’ll learn to tune into all parts of you so that you can align with the things that are most important to you.
My approach is compassionate, insight-oriented, and tailored to help you rebuild confidence, strengthen self-trust, and a more grounded sense of self.
