When Summer Ends: Coping With the Transition Into Fall

The end of summer can feel like more than a change of season. For many adults, August and September bring shifts in pace, responsibility, and emotional energy.

The Subtle Stress of Seasonal Transitions

Even if you are not going back to school yourself, cultural rhythms change. Work schedules tighten, family obligations shift, and the pace of daily life accelerates. What felt manageable in summer may feel heavier as fall approaches.

Emotional Reflections

Transitions often stir emotions. Some people notice renewed motivation. Others feel stress, fatigue, or a return of struggles they had been pushing aside. Seasonal change is not just about weather; it is about how we experience ourselves in new rhythms.

Support During Transitions

At Empathy Therapy, Dr. Mark Chofla offers care designed for moments like this. Psychiatric treatment and therapy together allow clients to reflect on stress, regulate mood, and prepare for the season ahead with more stability.

As one client reflected on WebMD:

“My psychiatrist died, if you can believe it. Died. That wasn’t very good. I am pleased to have found Doctor Chofla, who is as effective as others have stated here and on other review sites. Some need time, actual time with their psych doc, and that is what the doc provides. You get time with him, not just 15 min or whatever. You get time.”

The end of summer can be a reminder: you do not have to carry the weight of transition alone.
