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
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.

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.

Life Transitions
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re going through a major life transition, you may feel unsettled, uncertain, or overwhelmed—even if the change is something you chose. Whether it’s a career shift, retirement, relocation, relationship change, or another significant life event, transitions can disrupt your sense of stability and leave you questioning what comes next. It’s common to feel a mix of stress, self-doubt, and pressure to “figure it out” quickly.
I help clients navigate life transitions with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional stability. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and manage the thoughts that create anxiety, indecision, or self-doubt. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to reduce emotional overwhelm and help you adapt more effectively to change. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay grounded in your values, so your next steps reflect what truly matters to you—not just fear or uncertainty.
What’s often missing during transitions isn’t effort—you’re already trying to adjust and move forward. What’s missing is a structured way to process the change while also creating a clear direction for what’s next. Without that, it’s easy to feel stuck, second-guess yourself, or move forward without confidence.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to navigate this transition in a more intentional way. If you’re willing to approach this with clarity and support, I can help you move forward with greater confidence, reduce uncertainty, and create a next chapter that feels aligned with who you are and where you want to go.

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.

Marie Paddock, LPC

Change can be very difficult, even when we are excited about the change. We can work together so you can process the change, create a sense of peace with the past and present, and actively work toward the future.

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.

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.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
