Life Transitions
Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Major life changes such as career shifts, relocation, relationship changes, or new responsibilities can create stress and emotional uncertainty. I help individuals navigate these transitions by building coping strategies, clarifying goals, and strengthening emotional resilience. Support during these periods can help individuals adjust more confidently and maintain emotional balance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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
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.

Rewilding Earth & Psyche - Tyler Mostul, MSN
Life Coach, Earth-Based Depth Coach, Master's in Nursing - Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing
Life transitions are often great opportunities for growth and transformation. We usually have to be willing to take great risks and face our fears in order to experience the gifts of the transition. Too often these opportunities are wasted, and a person ends up changing only superficially while the roots stay the same. One focus of my work is helping people to transform at a deep level during a transition.
