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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Melanie Simms
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The transition to adulthood is HARD. I support teenagers and young adults with navigating the unique challenges related to moving from childhood to adulthood. This includes reflecting on one's childhood, healing from traumatic childhood experiences, exploring one's values, and making intentional choices to build the life they want and deserve. Our brains continue developing until our mid-20s and while that might make planning and decision making more difficult during this phase of life, it also means the brain is more elastic and quicker to heal.
