Life Transitions
Celine Linley
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist
Big life changes rarely announce themselves politely. One day you look up and realize the version of you that got you here isn't the version you need for what's next. I work with women navigating exactly that kind of shift, divorce, career change, an empty nest or loss anything that's quietly rewritten who they are. My work helps you meet this new chapter with clarity instead of chaos, so the transition feels less like something happening to you and more like something you're actively shaping.

Life Transitions
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.

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.

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.

Rewilding Earth & Psyche - Tyler Mostul, MSN
Life Coach, Earth-Based Depth Coach, Master's in Nursing - Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing
Life transitions are often great opportunities for growth and transformation. We usually have to be willing to take great risks and face our fears in order to experience the gifts of the transition. Too often these opportunities are wasted, and a person ends up changing only superficially while the roots stay the same. One focus of my work is helping people to transform at a deep level during a transition.

Rebecca Rothberg
Psychologist, Psy.D., M.A., R.Y.T.
You may feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmed. Perhaps you have a sense that life could feel different, better, or somehow more enlivened than it currently does. I strive to create a safe container to help you access the parts of you that are innately whole, connected, and oriented toward the North Star in your night sky. I believe that under the right conditions, with the right tools, and through the right relationships, each of us is capable of the healing, growing, and thriving that we seek. Through empathic attunement and active collaboration, I hope to help you learn to experience, explore, and nurture your most authentic self.

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.

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.
