Life Transitions Counseling in Chelmsford, MA

“The only thing constant is change.” — Heraclitus

Life is always changing—but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. At Illusions of Samsara in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, we offer therapy for individuals navigating tough or transformative life transitions. Whether you’re grieving a loss, changing careers, adjusting to a new identity or just feeling adrift by change, counseling can help you process and move forward with intention.

With kindness we’ll help you figure out what this chapter is asking of you—and how to meet it without losing yourself in the process.

Why Life Transitions Can Be So Hard

Even when we expect change it can shake our sense of control, identity and stability. Moments like a divorce, job loss, moving or major illness don’t just disrupt our routines—they challenge who we are. Transitions bring up grief, fear, anxiety or unresolved emotional pain.

Therapy gives you space to pause, process and begin to rebuild. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

We work with adults in Chelmsford and Massachusetts navigating a wide range of life transitions including:

  • Loss of a loved one or complicated grief
