Life Transitions
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.

Veronica Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
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.

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.

Life Transitions
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.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life transitions can shake your routines, relationships, and sense of direction, even when the change is positive. We can focus on coping and practical adjustment while also making room for the deeper questions that often come up during change. I help people clarify what matters now, make decisions with more confidence, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and meaningful.

Life Transitions: Navigating the "Space Between"
Finding Your Grounding When the Map Changes
Life is a series of arrivals and departures. Whether you are navigating a chosen change—like a new career or marriage—or an uninvited upheaval—like a health diagnosis or the "empty nest"—the transition itself can trigger a profound sense of overwhelm, loss of identity, and systemic burnout. In my practice, I help you navigate the "liminal space" between what was and what will be, ensuring you don't just "get through it," but grow through it.
The Anatomy of Change
Major shifts often disrupt our internal and external systems. We work together to address the "growing pains" of life’s major chapters:
The Identity Crisis: Answering the question, "Who am I now?" when your role as a parent, spouse, professional, or "healer" changes.
The "What-Now" Anxiety: Managing the fear and rejection sensitivity that often accompany career pivots, moves, or retirement.
Spiritual & Existential Shifts: Using my Master of Divinity to hold space for the "spiritual deconstruction" or re-evaluating of life’s meaning that often occurs during mid-life or major loss.
A Systems-Rooted Clinical Approach
With over 20 years of experience, I use an integrated framework to help you stabilize your system:
Attachment & Safety: We explore how your past experiences with change influence your current "threat response." We work to build an internal sense of safety that doesn't depend on external circumstances.
Grief & Honor: Every new beginning requires an ending. We use IFS-informed work to honor the "part" of you that is grieving the past, allowing you to move forward without the weight of unprocessed loss.
Practical Resilience: We look at your "system"—your nutrition, your movement, and your social support—to ensure your body is supported as much as your mind during the stress of transition.
For the Leaders & Healers in Flux
I have a specialized focus on therapists and pastors navigating significant life pivots. When you are the one everyone looks to for stability, having your own "system" in flux can feel uniquely isolating. I provide a confidential, courageous space where you can lay down the weight of leadership and find your own path forward.

Life Transitions
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.

Life Transitions
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.

Life Transitions
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!

Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
