Our identity can change and develop throughout life. For many of us, our ideas of who we are and what we believe constantly evolve over the years. Defining your own beliefs, lifestyle, and sense of self can be exciting, but it’s natural to experience some uncertainty or discomfort in the process too. Although identity development is most commonly associated with adolescence, challenges can arise at any time, especially during major life transitions or other times of change.
Therapy can help us better understand ourselves, feel more confident in who we are, and improve our ability to make sense of our world. A couples counselor might focus on clarifying values to guide your actions through acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) or develop your thoughts and core beliefs through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Some couples counselors also provide existential therapy, a philosophically-rooted approach that focuses on meaning, freedom, connection, and mortality.
