Life transitions can bring uncertainty, loss, and new opportunities that feel overwhelming.

Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Life transitions can be a catalyst for new growth or can leave us stuck in paralysis while we grieve all we are leaving behind. The end of a marriage, losing ground in your career, moving from a familiar hometown can all leave us feeling untethered and unable to find our way. Even the most accomplished and confident person can find themselves at a loss when all the recognizable signposts have been moved. During our time together, we can identify both the sorrow in moving forward and the new opportunities that may present themselves in disguise!

Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
Even positive change can feel destabilizing. Whether you’re entering adulthood, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, changing careers, grieving what was, or feeling unsure of what comes next, transitions often stir up anxiety, confusion, and self-doubt.
These seasons can bring old wounds and patterns to the surface, especially when the path ahead feels unclear. Therapy offers a space to slow down, process what’s shifting, and reconnect with your own internal compass. Together, we can help you navigate change with more clarity, steadiness, and trust in yourself.

Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I work with adults navigating major life transitions, including relationship changes, divorce or separation, career shifts, relocation, identity changes, and periods of uncertainty or loss. Even when transitions are expected or chosen, they can bring up anxiety, grief, self-doubt, and a loss of stability or direction.
My approach helps you move through these periods with greater clarity and emotional grounding. Rather than focusing only on decision-making or problem-solving, we also explore the emotional and nervous system responses that often accompany change, including fear, overwhelm, or feeling stuck between what was and what comes next.
I use a trauma-informed framework and may incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) when past experiences are activated during transitions or when change is connected to earlier attachment or trauma patterns. These modalities help reduce emotional intensity and support greater internal stability during times of disruption.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work, which can be especially helpful when transitions activate old patterns such as people-pleasing, avoidance, or difficulty trusting your own decisions. Therapy is paced to match your needs, with a focus on helping you feel more grounded and self-directed.
Clients often find that as they move through life transitions with support, they gain not only clarity about external decisions, but also a stronger internal sense of confidence, resilience, and direction.

Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
When we're young, we think of life transitions as exciting... uncharted terrain. It's not until we are in them that we realize they can be difficult and disorienting. Life as we knew it is changing and sometimes we're so busy with the logistics of the transition that rarely do we sit and feel the emotions that go along with this big shift as it's happening. Let me help you process what's happening so you can make sense of the changes to come.

Veronica Holmes

Life transitions often come unexpectedly or without time to prepare. I work with my clients to assist them through their transitions while identifying the challenges along the way. Often, old thoughts, fears, and past traumas arise when life brings transition your way.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Major life transitions can create uncertainty, emotional stress, and a loss of stability even when the changes themselves are positive or expected. Transitions related to career changes, relationships, marriage, parenthood, relocation, identity development, spiritual change, aging, or shifting life roles can leave people feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or uncertain about who they are and how to move forward.
Therapy can provide support and clarity during periods of transition by helping clients process difficult emotions, navigate uncertainty, strengthen coping skills, and better understand the deeper personal and relational themes emerging during times of change. My approach focuses on helping clients move through transitions with greater self-awareness, resilience, and intentionality.

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life transitions — whether chosen or unexpected — can shake our sense of identity and leave us feeling unsteady. I work with people navigating all kinds of change: career shifts, relationship endings, becoming a parent, loss of a role, or simply the feeling that the life you once knew no longer fits. Together, we'll create space to process what you're leaving behind, clarify what you're moving toward, and rebuild a sense of groundedness along the way.

Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Uncertainty and not knowing what will happen can be scary. Often times individuals will either escape through avoidance or numbing out, or they will control as much of life as they can to prevent uncertainty. However, a reality of life is that things will change and you will face challenges. What you get to control is how you respond to those changes.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Life transitions can leave you feeling uncertain, ungrounded, or overwhelmed as you navigate change. Whether you are moving through a career shift, breakup or divorce, relocation, midlife crisis, identity changes, parenthood, aging, loss, or a major personal reinvention, even positive changes can bring stress, confusion, grief, and anxiety about what comes next.
As a therapist, sexologist, and tantra practitioner, I help clients move through periods of transition with clarity, emotional support, and deeper self-understanding. Together, we explore what is ending, what is emerging, and what may be ready to shift within you so you can make decisions from a more grounded and aligned place.
This work is about helping you move through change with greater stability, self-trust, and intention so you can step into the next chapter of your life with more confidence, direction, and inner connection.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Life transitions often hold both possibility and uncertainty, growth and grief, excitement and disorientation. Whether navigating career changes, relationship shifts, parenthood, neurodivergent discovery, disability, chronic illness, identity exploration, aging, relocation, caregiving, spiritual shifts, educational transitions, retirement, or major life decisions, periods of change can invite us to reconsider who we are, what matters, and how we want to move through the world.
Transitions are not only practical experiences. They are often nervous system experiences, identity experiences, relational experiences, and sometimes deeply emotional or existential ones. Even changes that are welcomed or chosen can bring loss, complexity, ambiguity, and unexpected challenges alongside hope, relief, and possibility.
This work creates space to make sense of change at a pace that honors your capacity, pace, and lived experience. Exploration may include emerging identities, shifting roles, changing relationships, questions of belonging, evolving values, grief for what is ending, and uncertainty about what comes next. Particular attention is given to the ways culture, family expectations, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, spirituality, and other intersecting identities shape how transitions are experienced and navigated.
My approach integrates mindfulness, somatic therapy, EMDR, parts work, neuropsychotherapy, expressive arts, and liberation-oriented healing to support greater self-understanding, nervous system regulation, flexibility, and self-trust during times of change. Rather than rushing toward answers or certainty, therapy offers space to listen for what is emerging, honor what is being left behind, and remain connected to yourself as new possibilities unfold. Often, the work is less about finding the "right" path and more about cultivating the clarity, courage, and self-trust to walk it in a way that feels aligned with your values, needs, and authentic self.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions like divorce or relationship changes, empty nest, career change, relocation, retirement, or big life decisions can leave you feeling isolated, unsure of yourself and anxious. It takes tremendous courage to make a bold change. And no one really knows in advance exactly how it will turn out. As Martin Luther King Jr said, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Collaborating with a skilled therapist can give you the support you need to find clarity and take wise, well thought through calculated risks that will open up possibilities for you. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from old patterns, and help you to establish the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
As we move through life, we may have a job, build a career, and ultimately be drawn toward what I like to call a “way of life.” Transitions often arrive when the old identity no longer serves—when something internally is shifting, and the question becomes not only what should I do, but who am I becoming, and how do I want to live?
In our work together, we create space to step out of the loop and turn down the volume of urgency and fear so you can hear what matters. We move to clarify values, name what you’re leaving behind, and identify the patterns—overthinking, avoidance, self-doubt—that can keep you stuck in the in-between. Often, the strategies we use to protect ourselves during a transition can quietly narrow the life we want.
The goal is to move through change with steadiness and self-trust, and to take next steps that feel aligned with the life you’re ready to build.
