Navigating A Diagnosis

Compassionate and evidence-based therapy to support individuals navigating a new diagnosis—helping them process emotions, manage uncertainty, and build coping skills to adjust with clarity, resilience, and self-compassion.

Therapy That Actually Feels Personal

Adjusting to a new diagnosis can bring a mix of emotions—relief, fear, confusion, or uncertainty. Whether it’s a recent mental health, medical, or neurodivergent diagnosis, you don’t have to face it alone.

Reimagining Mental Health With Therapy

At Lake Shore Therapy Group, therapy for navigating a new diagnosis isn’t just about understanding your condition—it’s about helping you find balance, self-compassion, and strength as you adjust to a new reality. Our concierge-style support takes care of the details—insurance, scheduling, and billing—so you can focus on your emotional healing and growth. With therapists experienced in supporting individuals through medical, mental health, and neurodivergent diagnoses, you’ll receive care that’s thoughtful, personalized, and empowering. From your first session, you’ll feel supported, informed, and guided every step of the way.

What we’ll work on in therapy:

Therapy provides a safe space to explore the feelings that come with a new diagnosis—such as fear, grief, or uncertainty—so you can begin to understand and accept your experience.
A therapist can help you build healthy coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, or lifestyle adjustments related to your diagnosis.
Receiving a diagnosis can shift how you see yourself. Therapy supports you in integrating this new part of your identity with compassion and confidence.
Therapy can help you navigate conversations with loved ones, medical professionals, or employers, empowering you to advocate for your needs.
Through ongoing guidance, therapy helps you adapt to new routines, limitations, or changes—focusing on your strengths and building long-term resilience.
