Life Transitions
Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Change is disorienting — even the changes we choose. Marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, losing a parent, changing careers, graduating, retiring, relocating — each of these asks you to redefine yourself in ways that take longer and feel harder than most people expect. I work with adults who are standing at these crossroads and need space to grieve what's behind them, make sense of what's happening now, and build clarity about who they're becoming. My approach is grounded in the understanding that transition isn't just logistical — it's an identity process, and it deserves to be treated that way.

Full Circle Mental Health LLC
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LISW
Major life transitions—even the positive ones—can completely disrupt your sense of normalcy, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and deeply disconnected from your usual grounding. Whether you are navigating a career pivot, stepping into a new phase of adulthood, adjusting to a post-divorce reality, or experiencing the intense friction of merging households, I provide a tailored, telehealth space across Ohio to help you anchor yourself amidst the chaos.
At Full Circle Mental Health LLC, I view life transitions through an integrative, systemic lens. Changes in one area of your life inevitably ripple out into your relationships, daily routines, and mental health. Grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed framework, I help individuals, couples, and blended families process the complex emotions that come with heavy adjustments:
• Managing Adjustment Anxiety: We draw from standard CBT and DBT skills to help you regulate your nervous system, quiet the voice of self-doubt, and build practical tools to handle daily uncertainty.
• Navigating Relational Changes: Utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Bowenian family systems to help you map out collective dynamics, establish healthy new boundaries, and manage the friction of shifting family structures.
• Action-Oriented Goal Clarification: Implementing Solution-Focused Therapy to help you tap into your innate resilience, clarify your current values, and take tangible, confident steps into your new chapter.
You do not have to navigate these shifting tides in isolation, and you do not need to have all the answers right away. Together, we will look at your big picture, honor your unique narrative, and co-create a personalized virtual roadmap that helps you find steady footing and step confidently into your future.

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Life is a series of chapters, and the transition between them—whether exciting, unexpected, or challenging—often brings profound feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, and loss of identity.

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!

Major life changes, even the ones we choose, can leave us feeling unstable, uncertain of who we are, and nervous about the future. I help clients navigate transitions with curiosity rather than anxiety, using them as an opportunity to deepen self-understanding and reconnect with what's really important.

Life Transitions
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Life transitions can place unexpected stress on even the strongest relationships. Changes such as marriage, parenthood, career shifts, relocation, grief, caregiving, retirement, or changes in identity and priorities can impact communication, emotional connection, and daily routines. Gottman Method couples therapy helps partners navigate these transitions together by actively guiding conversations into deeper understanding of each partner's dreams to create a shared dream and direction. Through evidence-based tools and guided conversations, couples learn how to manage stress more effectively, strengthen emotional intimacy, and adapt to change while staying connected as a team.
The most common life transition that I help couples navigate is the "empty nest." Many people find themselves lonely and resentful at this stage of life and come into therapy to find themselves, their partner, and a new dream of a life together.

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.

Our work focuses on managing the discomfort of uncertainty, developing adaptive coping mechanisms, and building structural resilience as you define your next chapter.

Life Transitions
Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
Life transitions can unsettle familiar ways of understanding oneself, especially when changes in work, relationships, family, identity, health, or stage of life bring old assumptions into question. I help individuals make sense of what is ending, what is emerging, and what may be asking to develop within them. Therapy can provide a steady place to reflect, grieve, reorient, and move toward a life that feels more deeply one’s own.

Columbus is home to Ohio State University — one of the largest universities in the country — creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult identity, and sports psychology. The city's position as Ohio's state capital and a growing tech and healthcare hub has accelerated demographic change, with therapists increasingly addressing burnout and adjustment among a fast-growing professional population. OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Columbus also has one of the largest Somali communities in the United States, making culturally competent and multilingual therapists who specialize in refugee trauma and identity an important part of the local therapy landscape.
