We often refer to the period of life between our 30s and 50s as having “settled down.” After all, getting married, raising a family, and establishing a career are supposed to introduce stability into our lives. However, this is not always the case. Midlife adults often experience stressors and challenges during this time that can leave them feeling anything but stable. There may be anxiety about work, difficulties that develop in long-term relationships, responsibilities surrounding aging parents, and other concerns.
Fortunately, MySpectrum provides comprehensive adult counseling in Virginia to help you navigate these uncertainties and find peace. Our adult therapists are ready to assist you at our North Chesterfield and Springfield (teletherapy only in Springfield) offices, as well as through teletherapy throughout all of Virginia.
Common Challenges and Transitions for Midlife Adults
Even though this is supposed to be a time in your life when you should feel secure, there still may be some circumstances that leave you feeling uneasy. For example, many older adults are confronted with feelings of loneliness as their children grow up and move out of the house. Others may feel stressed and uncertain due to changes in their careers. Married couples can begin to take out their frustrations on each other or start to feel as if their partners take them for granted. Many times, those in their 30s, 40s, and 50s begin to deal with issues as their parents age and become more dependent on them for support. Any of these challenges can have a significant impact on your mental health, leading to anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and more. This is why therapy for older adults can be a balm to soothe such concerns.
Conditions We Can Treat
Our therapy services for adults can help you address the root causes of your mental health concerns and find lasting relief from conditions such as:
- Anxiety — Constant worry about what could happen in the future can leave you unsure about what to do in the here and now.
- Burnout — When the stress over family, work, or other issues becomes too much, you can feel completely drained of energy and motivation.
- Depression — Many adults report feeling overwhelmed by feelings of despair and helplessness, unable to see a way out of their current situation.
- Stress — The effects of stress can have a tremendous impact on the way we face the world and deal with loved ones, putting strain on relationships.
- Sleep disorders — Dealing with life changes can make it very difficult to get a good night’s sleep, which can leave you ill-prepared for what lies ahead the next day.
