Down-to-earth counseling for job loss, new parenthood, financial crises and other challenging life changes.
Online sessions across Minnesota | In-person starting fall 2026 in Blaine MN
Heading into a new phase of life, whether it’s parenthood or a career shift, often comes with a hidden side effect: deep uncertainty.
You might find yourself wishing for your old life back or feeling like you have to ‘fake it til you make it’ just to get through the day.
At Kindred Counseling, I provide compassionate, solution-focused therapy for big life changes in Blaine MN. Together we focus on the reality of this life change. We’ll have real conversations to help you find the strength and clarity to keep moving forward.
“Everyone has that moment I think, the moment when something so momentous happens that it rips your very being into small pieces. And then you have to stop. For a long time, you gather your pieces. And it takes such a very long time, not to fit them back together, but to assemble them in a new way, not necessarily a better way. More, a way you can live with until you know for certain that this piece should go there, and that one there.”
–Kathleen Glasgow
Hello,
I’m April Williamson, MA, LMFT,
Changes are inevitable. Most of us like to know when they are coming. sometimes there are ones that we plan for, but the experience is vastly different than what we had imagined. This is life. But that doesn’t mean getting through these changes is easy.
I help those who are having a hard time adjusting to planned and unplanned life events, ones that have impacted your identity and caused great uncertainty. Together, we will unpack what happened, how this has altered your views on life, and find a way to rebuild what was lost.
Finding Solid Ground
When so much has changed, it’s normal to feel a little unsettled. We’ll work together to rediscover who you are and what life looks like now.
Making Sense of Right Now
Many times a major disruptive change comes with many decisions to make. You may find it hard to turn off the worry. We’ll go through decisions one by one to make life feel more manageable.
Building Strong Boundaries
Big changes often bring big opinions from others. I’ll help you learn how to set boundaries that protect your peace, so you stop feeling responsible for everyone else’s happiness at the expense of your own.
A New Routine
Sometimes when big changes come, our routine goes right out the window. We’ll look at your day-to-day activities and make the needed changes to help life start to feel normal again.
Divorce or the end of a long-term relationship.
Navigating new parenthood or the “empty nest.”
Career shifts, job loss, or starting a new business.
Relocation or moving to a new community.
