Life Transitions
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Life transitions can bring both change and uncertainty, even when they are chosen or positive on the surface. Shifts such as career changes, relationship endings or beginnings, relocation, identity exploration, health changes, or emerging creative directions often stir deeper questions about who you are and how you want to live.
During these periods, it is common to feel ungrounded, emotionally activated, or disconnected from your usual sense of self. Even meaningful transitions can bring grief, anxiety, confusion, or a sense of being “in-between” identities or life chapters.
In therapy, we slow down and make space for the emotional and embodied experience of change. From a psychodynamic perspective, we explore how past transitions and attachment experiences may be shaping your current response to uncertainty, loss, or new beginnings.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we also listen to the “felt sense” of transition — the often wordless, body-based experience of not yet knowing what comes next. This helps bring clarity and grounding from within, rather than forcing quick decisions or external answers.
Rather than rushing toward resolution, this work supports you in staying present with the threshold space of change. This can include processing grief for what is ending, making room for ambiguity, and gently sensing into what is emerging.
As nervous system regulation increases and inner clarity strengthens, many clients find they are able to move through transitions with more trust, steadiness, and self-compassion — even when the path ahead is not fully defined.
This approach is especially supportive for creatives, highly sensitive individuals, and those navigating identity shifts or life reinvention who want to move through change in a way that feels grounded, intentional, and internally guided.

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. 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.

Utilizing cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based frameworks, I help individuals process the grief, anxiety, and stress that often accompany significant adjustments. 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. 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
Claire Yamashita
Pre-Licensed Professional, MSW, LICSWA
Life transitions can be scary. Change can be scary. But it does not have to be. Graduating school, changing careers, starting a family, or a change in relationship status can be an opportunity to grow and try new things, or a chance for our fears to get the best of us. We decide how we respond to any given situation. Change is inevitable, and it is up to us to fight it or flow with it.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating significant life transitions, including career changes, immigration, relocation, and shifts in professional or cultural identity. This includes civil servants and international staff at multilateral development organizations like the World Bank, IDB, and IMF, who are contending with chronic uncertainty, survivor exhaustion after rounds of layoffs, and what's clinically known as moral injury, the toll of watching an institution you built your identity around get dismantled. It also includes first-generation professionals adjusting to roles their families never occupied. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which gives us a clear, structured way to work through the disorientation transitions bring and rebuild a sense of direction. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Life Transitions
Tacoma Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Some of life's hardest moments aren't crises — they're changes. A new job, a relationship ending, a move, a loss, becoming a parent, leaving a career, watching your kids grow up and out. Transitions that look like progress on the outside can feel disorienting, grieving, or completely unmooring on the inside.
That tension is real. And it deserves more than "this is a good thing, you should be grateful."
At TWC, we work with adults in the middle of change — helping them process what's being left behind, find footing in what's ahead, and understand who they are becoming in the space between. Transitions often surface older patterns and unresolved grief. We don't rush past that. We work with it.
If you're in a season of change and struggling to find solid ground, you don't have to navigate it alone.
If this resonates, we'd love to support you.

Life Transitions
Morgan Desai
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMFTA
Change, whether planned or not, can bring up a wide variety of emotions and challenges. Starting a new job, transitioning in or out of a relationship, moving to a new place, or entering into a new phase of life (adulthood, being a parent, retiring, etc.) can be exciting and wonderful, but can also bring up feelings such as guilt, grief, or uncertainty. It can be overwhelming and it is important that you feel seen and heard!
The way you experience and view these transitions can also be impacted by your family of origin and the broader systems you are apart of. Through therapy, we can process complex emotions, explore internal and external narratives that may be impacting your experience, and help you to feel empowered and secure throughout your transitions.

Life Transitions
Doria McGahey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
We all go through a number of transitions in life and sometimes you need support in navigating the hard stuff. Often our identity is tied to different roles in life like: career, parent, child, sibling, partner, athlete, caregiver, etc and when things shift in our lives it can cause a lot of distress and leave you feeling disoriented. Questions like, who am I now that my kids are grown up? or in menopause or aging? or I'm retired? or single? You may find that you are experiencing anxiety, depression, existential questions, fear, or even self-esteem issues. I focus on this area because I know how important it is to have someone help you explore and move through these changes feeling open, empowered, and engaged rather than from a. place of fear.

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.
