Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can bring a mix of stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist, I provide supportive, evidence‑based therapy to help individuals navigate major changes such as becoming a parent, shifting roles in relationships, career transitions, relocation, identity changes, or evolving family dynamics. Therapy offers a space to process complex emotions, strengthen coping skills, and regain a sense of stability and direction during periods of adjustment.

Dr. Munazza Abraham
Psychologist, PhD
I support clients navigating career shifts, identity evolution, relocation, motherhood, partnership changes, and other major turning points. Using an African-Centered Psychology framework, I help clients understand transitions as sacred developmental passages rather than personal failures. Together, we clarify values, strengthen internal grounding, and build intentional next steps rooted in purpose and cultural alignment.
Together, we’ll unpack and challenge internalized messages, build coping skills to navigate life’s ups and downs, and strengthen your capacity to live in alignment with your values and self-defined purpose. My practice emphasizes that “Community is medicine” with my creation of therapy groups to increase your sense of belonging and enhance collective healing. I also tap into ancestral knowledge, holistic and evidence-based practices, and the arts, all combined with your interests to tailor your healing experience.

Kimberly Dudley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Even positive changes can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating a new relationship, marriage, career change, parenthood, divorce, relocation, or a season of personal growth, life transitions often bring uncertainty and self-doubt. Therapy can help you process change, gain clarity, strengthen your confidence, and move forward with greater purpose and alignment. My goal is to help you navigate life’s transitions in a way that honors both your personal values and your faith.

Catherine Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LMHC
Sometimes the hardest seasons in life happen during times of change—even the changes you chose. Whether you’re navigating a career shift, relocation, relationship changes, increased responsibilities, or a new stage of life, transitions can bring uncertainty, stress, and a loss of the stability you once relied on.
I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed or stuck during major life transitions. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), we focus on understanding the thoughts and emotions that arise during periods of change while building practical tools to help you adapt with greater clarity and confidence.
My approach is supportive, honest, and empowering—creating a space where you can process the challenges of transition while reconnecting with your strengths and moving forward with intention.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
I strive to balance being a helping professional with being human, and part of that involves pulling from my own lived experiences with life transitions, and viewing myself as a 'fellow traveler' in life. Like everyone, I have experienced challenges in life, including moving out of my home state, living below the poverty line, being estranged from family, being a first generation college/graduate school participant, transitioning to parenthood, completing the grueling dissertation/PhD process, a dying parent, and purchasing a home, to name a few. I bring a wealth of compassion without judgement to hold space for those navigating similar experiences, or other life transitions that might cause feelings of uncertainty, imposter syndrome, scarcity mindset, anxiety and fear.

Dr. Karina Luaces

Major life changes — career shifts, relationship changes, loss, relocation, or entering a new chapter — can leave us feeling unmoored. Therapy offers a space to process, find clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional steadiness.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been disrupted or reshaped in ways that ask real questions about who they are now. This might include graduating and stepping into adult life, feeling unsure about next steps in a demanding career, becoming a parent or adding a child, separation or divorce, major shifts in important relationships, retirement, moves that change your community, health changes, or later‑life questions about how you want to live the time ahead. Even wanted or carefully planned changes can feel disorienting. You might notice old patterns resurfacing, feel pulled between different parts of yourself, or find that what used to motivate you no longer does. People around you may expect you to be excited, grateful, or to “figure it out,” while inside you feel unsettled, numb, or unsure which way to go. In our work together, we focus on helping your nervous system and daily life stabilize enough to move through this transition, while also exploring the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and identity that it brings up. We pay attention to what is ending, what is beginning, and what feels most true for you now, so the change you are living through can become more grounded and more aligned with a life that actually fits you.

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Life is full of transitions. Whether we are graduating from college, becoming a parent for the first time, getting married, entering midlife, we can count on transitions and that our identity will shift as our life does. Therapy can provide tremendous support as we move through a transition.

Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
Life is a series of changes, so good, some bad. Resiliency and flexibility are critical tools to help us navigate through. Change your perspective to see all the options before you. I help people persevere through "adulting", getting the first professional job, relationships, marriage, divorce, grief and loss and any other life transition. Your role in the family, at work, relationships and life also may need to change to achieve the balance and support you deserve. "We train people how to treat us." Sometimes we need to also train ourselves to become what we should be.

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!

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Every major transition — a move, a loss, a new beginning, the end of something that defined you — strips away the structure you had been living inside without noticing. What remains can feel like nothing. That blankness is not emptiness. It is the space before the next thing, and it requires a particular kind of patience. Therapy during transition is not about figuring out the next step. It is about tolerating the interval long enough to discover what actually wants to emerge, rather than grabbing for the first thing that will make the uncertainty stop.

Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Whether we actively seek a life transition or one happens to us outside our control, we will process the areas of loss and the difficulty these moments often bring to our lives. We will also look for space in these transitions that offer opportunities to re-evaluate the direction of our lives in order to build a life more aligned with our ultimate wants and hopes.
