Life Transitions
Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Major life changes can bring excitement, grief, uncertainty, or all three at once. Starting or ending a relationship, moving, changing careers, becoming a parent, graduating, relocating, or entering a new stage of adulthood can disrupt your sense of identity and leave you wondering what comes next.
Therapy can give you space to process what you are leaving behind while helping you adjust to what is ahead. Together, we can work through difficult emotions, clarify your priorities, and identify the choices that feel most consistent with the life you want to build.
My goal is to help you move through change with greater confidence, flexibility, and self-understanding, so that a period of uncertainty can also become an opportunity for meaningful growth.

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
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
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.

Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Life transitions rarely feel the way they are supposed to. A promotion, a move, a wedding, a divorce, a child leaving home — each removes some of the structure you were using to know who you are, and the disorientation that follows is often out of proportion to how good or bad the change looks from outside. I work with life transitions as identity questions rather than logistics: what this change asks you to give up, what it makes newly possible, and what it has exposed that was already unstable. Ambivalence is welcome here. Most people arrive convinced they should have settled into it by now.

Life Transitions
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Feeling like you always have to get everything “just right” can be exhausting. Perfectionism often leads to stress, procrastination, and fear of making mistakes, even when you’re capable and driven. My focus centers around teaching individuals how to manage high expectations, reduce self-criticism, and build confidence in their efforts, not just the outcome.

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
Kody Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Major changes can affect more than the part of life that is changing. Career shifts, changes in relationships, parenting, separation, loss, or entering a new stage of life can leave you questioning what comes next. Therapy can help you make sense of the transition, understand how it is affecting you and your relationships, and clarify what you want moving forward. My approach combines thoughtful exploration with practical support to help you navigate change with greater confidence and intention.

Gary Ashley
Therapist, LMHCA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
Major changes can leave you questioning routines, relationships, identity, or what you want next. I work with clients during transitions such as career changes, relationship shifts, moves, loss, or new stages of adulthood. Our work may focus on sorting through what has changed, noticing what no longer fits, and making decisions with more clarity instead of reacting from pressure or uncertainty.
