Life Transitions
Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, life transitions often activate multiple parts that hold fear, uncertainty, or resistance to change. Protective parts may attempt to maintain stability through control, avoidance, or self-criticism, while more vulnerable parts carry anxiety about the unknown or loss. Therapy supports clients in accessing Self to compassionately understand these reactions, fostering flexibility and helping the system adapt to new roles and circumstances.

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.

Life Transitions
Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
ife transitions—such as career shifts, divorce, motherhood, or stepping into a new phase of independence—often bring underlying relationship patterns into sharper focus. During these times, you may begin to question dynamics you once tolerated, noticing how emotional manipulation, over-functioning, or self-doubt have shaped your choices. Our work centers on helping you navigate these transitions with clarity, so you can make decisions that reflect your needs rather than repeating patterns that no longer serve 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
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.

Hannah Hayden with Sapphire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life is filled with transitions, some planned and exciting, others unexpected and difficult. Whether you're navigating a career change, starting or ending a relationship, becoming a parent, adjusting to an empty nest, relocating, experiencing a loss, or simply feeling uncertain about your next chapter, these changes can bring both opportunity and stress. Therapy provides a supportive space to process the emotions that accompany transition, gain clarity, build confidence, and move forward in a way that feels aligned with who you are and who you want to become.

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. 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.
