Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Some transitions are chosen and some arrive uninvited, but both can leave you feeling unsteady, unsure of who you are on the other side. I work with people navigating all kinds of change, career shifts, relationship changes, moves, loss, new parenthood, and more, with curiosity and without judgment.

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.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Working with clients during big life transitions is a particularly fruitful time. I bring in multiple approaches to help in transitions, including coping skills, insight-oriented work, steady support in our therapeutic relationship, and nervous system regulation techniques for stabilization. Life transitions can be wonderful opportunities for growth, even if they can be rocky in the process. I view myself somewhat as a midwife through the experience, helping guide you and encourage you as you birth into your next chapter.

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.

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!

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Periods of change—even positive ones—can bring uncertainty, anxiety, or a sense of losing your footing. Therapy focuses on helping you make sense of what’s shifting, stay grounded through the transition, and move forward in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help people with developmental trauma navigate life transitions by creating a grounded, compassionate space to understand why these moments can feel so overwhelming. Together, we explore the old survival strategies that get activated during change and gently build new ways of relating to yourself that feel safer and more aligned. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative—supporting you as you move through transition with more clarity, self‑trust, and emotional resilience.

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?

Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, loss, and new opportunities that feel overwhelming.

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.

Kristina Anzell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPSC
Becoming a mom is probably on of the hardest things you will have to move through. You are not only having a life transition, but an identity transition, a body transition and a relationship transition. Get the support that you need because becoming a mother should feel empowering, not drowning.

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.

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.

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.

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.
