Female Therapists in Salem, OR

We experience so much change over the course of a lifetime. Sometimes life brings us change through unforeseen circumstances like divorce, job loss, or health concerns. Other times, we create change by moving, having a baby, or entering a new relationship. Everything is always changing around us, including us. It can be disorienting and often stirs up fear, self-doubt, sadness, loss, and strain on relationships. Accepting change can be scary, and it can also be empowering. We sell ourselves short when we seek to simply “get back to normal” rather than cultivating stability in the midst of change, which is where peace starts to grow.

Do you ever feel like you cannot find meaning in life, or find your purpose? The struggles of life have taken you in a path different than what you wanted and don’t know how to get back?
