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.

Life Transitions
Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
As we move through life, we may have a job, build a career, and ultimately be drawn toward what I like to call a “way of life.” Transitions often arrive when the old identity no longer serves—when something internally is shifting, and the question becomes not only what should I do, but who am I becoming, and how do I want to live?
In our work together, we create space to step out of the loop and turn down the volume of urgency and fear so you can hear what matters. We move to clarify values, name what you’re leaving behind, and identify the patterns—overthinking, avoidance, self-doubt—that can keep you stuck in the in-between. Often, the strategies we use to protect ourselves during a transition can quietly narrow the life we want.
The goal is to move through change with steadiness and self-trust, and to take next steps that feel aligned with the life you’re ready to build.

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.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Periods of life transition can leave even confident people feeling uncertain about what comes next. Changes in career, relationships, identity, or major life roles often bring both opportunity and emotional strain. In therapy, I help clients think clearly through transitions, process the stress of change, and move forward with greater confidence and stability.

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.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults navigate life transitions with greater confidence, resilience, and clarity. Major changes such as career shifts, relationship changes, marriage, divorce, parenthood, infertility, relocation, retirement, health concerns, and other significant life events can bring uncertainty, stress, and emotional challenges. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients adapt to change, manage anxiety and self-doubt, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with their values and goals. My goal is to help clients successfully navigate life's transitions while building a meaningful and fulfilling future.

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. 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.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
