Individual Therapy + Life Transitions

When life doesn’t feel like yours anymore.
No clear crisis. Just a quiet sense that something’s off.

Schedule a Consultation

Not everything has to fall apart for you to want support. Therapy can help whether you’re:

  • Living in the Gray

    You’re not in crisis, but you’re stuck in the in-between. Maybe you're questioning your direction, doubting your decisions, or running on autopilot. We help you slow down and make sense of what’s shifting—before it becomes a full-blown unraveling.

  • Grieving Something You Can’t Name

    Grief doesn’t just show up after loss—it can come with change, burnout, identity loss, or the quiet endings no one else sees. We offer therapy for grief that defies easy labels, especially when you can’t explain why you’re feeling the way you do.

  • Trying to Figure Out Who You Are Now

    You’ve outgrown your old patterns, roles, or relationships—but you’re not sure what’s next. This is therapy for identity shifts and major life transitions, where we explore who you’re becoming in the space between versions of yourself.

  • Feeling Like Everything Is Too Much (or Not Enough)

    You feel exhausted, overstimulated, or strangely detached. The small stuff sets you off—or nothing moves you at all. Whether it’s burnout, emotional shutdown, or something harder to name, therapy can help you reconnect with what you feel and need.

At Hearten Therapy, we specialize in individual therapy for life transitions, identity shifts, emotional burnout, and grief that doesn’t always have a clear name.

You might not know exactly what's wrong—only that you're not feeling like yourself. We help you make sense of the weight you're carrying and the shifts you can’t quite explain.

Whether you're starting over, slowing down, or simply trying to reconnect with who you are now, therapy offers a space to feel seen and supported.

We offer virtual therapy for adults across Illinois, with inclusive care that meets you in the space between holding it together and falling apart.

What We Help With

You don’t need a diagnosis or a crisis to seek support. We work with clients who are:

  • Questioning their identity, direction, or purpose

  • Grieving something they never fully processed

  • Burned out from caretaking, perfectionism, or chronic overextension

  • Feeling stuck in people-pleasing or invisible emotional labor

  • Experiencing disconnection in their relationships or sense of self

  • Navigating major life transitions like a move, job change, divorce, or loss

  • Planning a wedding or adjusting to married life

  • Preparing for or adapting to parenthood

  • Moving in with a partner or starting a new chapter together

  • Coping with a breakup or the end of a significant relationship

At Hearten Therapy, we offer individual therapy that meets you in the middle of it all—life transitions, identity shifts, emotional burnout, and grief that doesn’t always have a name. Even if everything looks fine on the outside, we’re here for what’s happening underneath.

How Therapy Helps

You don’t have to fall apart to get help.
We offer therapy that’s grounded, relational, and focused on what’s really going on:

  • Name what’s actually going on—even when the words are hard to find

  • Understand the deeper roots of emotional exhaustion, identity shifts, or disconnection

  • Process transitions and grief without rushing to move on

  • Rebuild self-trust and clarity in a way that’s sustainable

  • Explore your identity, relationships, and needs with someone who listens without fixing or labeling

Whether you're navigating a major life shift, questioning who you are, or just not feeling like yourself — this is a space to land.

Who We Work With

We work with adults across Illinois who are looking for:

  • Individual therapy for life transitions, grief, identity exploration, or emotional overwhelm

  • Support that goes deeper than surface-level advice

  • Inclusive care for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients seeking therapy that affirms who they are

  • A space that holds emotional complexity—without toxic positivity or quick fixes

  • A therapist who sees the full picture: relational patterns, cultural context, and emotional history

You don’t have to name the problem perfectly to start. You just have to know you're ready for something to shift.
