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.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Life transitions therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to help individuals navigate significant, often stressful, life changes—such as career shifts, divorce, loss, or aging—by providing coping skills, emotional support, and strategies to manage anxiety. It focuses on navigating uncertainty, processing grief or loss, and rebuilding a sense of identity. Therapy can help by: Offering a safe space to process and validate feelings of sadness, fear, or anxiety related to change; teach practical tools to handle and cope with stress caused by the changes, such as grounding techniques and mindfulness; identifies strengths by redefining personal identity and purpose, and transforming challenging transitions into growth opportunities.

Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Growth rarely happens on a perfect schedule, especially when you are dealing with career changes, family expectations, or losing people and places that used to make sense of your world. Maybe you are stepping into a new role as a caregiver, letting go of friendships that no longer fit, or trying to find your footing after a big move or loss. These moments can leave you feeling untethered or unsure of who you are supposed to be right now. We will sit with those messy feelings together, honoring the parts of your life that are ending while gently helping you build a way forward that actually fits your values. You do not have to figure it all out on your own before you start this work.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Life transitions can bring both opportunity and uncertainty. I work with adults and parents who are navigating major changes such as becoming a parent, shifts in relationships, career changes, relocation, or other periods of personal growth and adjustment. Even positive changes can create stress, self-doubt, or a sense of feeling ungrounded.
In therapy, we create space to slow down and make sense of these transitions. My approach integrates relational and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help clients better understand their emotional responses, clarify what matters most to them, and move through change with greater confidence and self-understanding. Together, we work to build resilience and support clients in navigating new chapters in a way that feels authentic and aligned with their values.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Major life transitions ; a new marriage, a career change, the loss of a relationship, becoming a parent, or simply the quiet sense that life needs to look different can shake even the most grounded person. Therapy provides a steady space to process what's changing, clarify what you want, and move forward with more intention and confidence. Transitions are hard. They're also an invitation to grow.

Shauna Farabaugh
Life Coach, Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Board Certified Sexologist, Certified TRE provider
Life impacts our sexuality--and it's not often talked about! Aging, perimenopause/menopause, the birth of a child, the end of a relationship, acquisition of illness or injury, gender transition, sobriety -- all these changes, and many more, impact how our bodies respond, what we want, and how we relate to our sexual identities and expression. I also believe we can connect with our sexuality in these times of transition as a source of strength, resilience and wisdom to guide us through change. Somatic sex education provides the opportunity to re-learn and re-create our sexuality--to learn about, work with and celebrate the body and eros we have NOW! Ready to take the first step?

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.

7 Years Experience

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
