Adjusting to Retirement: Counseling for Life After Work
Retirement can be an exciting new chapter in life, but it can also come with its own set of challenges.

The Challenges of Retirement
Retirement can be a time of great change and adjustment. For many people, retirement means leaving behind a routine and identity that they have known for years.

Additionally, retirement can bring up fears and anxieties about financial stability and health concerns.

A trained therapist can help individuals navigate the challenges of retirement and find new ways to create meaning and purpose in their lives.
