Life Transitions
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Feeling like you always have to get everything “just right” can be exhausting. Perfectionism often leads to stress, procrastination, and fear of making mistakes, even when you’re capable and driven. My focus centers around teaching individuals how to manage high expectations, reduce self-criticism, and build confidence in their efforts, not just the outcome.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals navigating life transitions by helping them process change and adjust to new roles, expectations, or identities. Life transitions can include shifts in relationships, career changes, moving, or other periods of uncertainty that can feel overwhelming or destabilizing. In therapy, we focus on making sense of these changes, building coping strategies, and increasing your ability to tolerate uncertainty. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based approaches to help you stay grounded during times of change while moving forward with greater clarity and intention.

Life Transitions
Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Life transitions such as graduating from college, getting married, having children, relationship changes, and retirement can often be full of a mixture of emotions like excitement, sadness, grief, and loss. Going through these changes can also result in feeling isolated from others because they may not understand how you are feeling. It is common to experience a wide range of emotions with any life change whether it is viewed as something positive or negative. As someone who has worked with many people going through significant life changes, I would be honored to help you navigate this change in your life.

Life Transitions
Rachel Honaker, Depth Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Life automatically comes equipped with transitions. Yet, because of our story and experiences some become more challenging. Sometimes they feel impossible. Sometimes we have no choice in them. Whatever the transition or change, making time and space to examine and explore the roots of our fears and anxieties can help us unravel them to the point where we can enact emotional change or acceptance.

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
Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life transitions can feel overwhelming, especially when they disrupt your sense of stability, identity, or direction.
I work with individuals navigating changes such as career shifts, relationship changes, relocation, or major life decisions—particularly when those transitions bring up uncertainty, anxiety, or self-doubt.
Often, these moments highlight existing patterns like over-accommodating, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling unsure of what you truly want.
Together, we focus on helping you gain clarity, build confidence in your decision-making, and move through transitions in a way that feels intentional and aligned.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life transitions—whether expected or sudden—can bring uncertainty, stress, and a sense of being unmoored. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming as familiar structures shift. In therapy, we create space to process what’s changing, make sense of mixed emotions, and clarify what matters most to you during this time. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded and able to navigate transitions with greater confidence and direction.

Life Transitions
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
One of Michael's specialties is helping people navigate the often "neither here nor there" psychological and emotional space in which important transitions take place. This can be a concrete transition, such as going to college/seeing children off to college, changing jobs, moving, formalizing a relationship's beginning or end, or having children. It can also be a less well defined but no less powerful transition, such as moving into your mid 30's, reaching mid-life, approaching retirement or just realizing that something different is desired. Michael approaches these transitional moments with the client, turning to the therapy relationship to identify how a transition can lead to growth and even to transformation.

Over time, I’ve developed a particular interest in working with life-stage transitions, whether that’s navigating adulthood, aging, shifting relationships, or redefining identity.
