Life Transitions
Amanda Ezell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (AL & GA), LMHC (FL), NCC, BC-TMH
Even changes we choose can leave us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life we once knew. I support adults navigating changes in relationships, identity, career, family roles, aging, and other significant transitions. Therapy offers space to make sense of what is changing, grieve what may be ending, and determine what you want the next chapter of your life to look like.

Life Transitions
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?
There’s no denying that life often presents us with our fair share of challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome any adversity but also transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted or expected, can influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our family and our communities.
Common Life Transitions
Some of the most common life transitions we help clients navigate are:
Moving away to college
Adjusting to university life or your first professional job
Getting married
Having a new baby
Parenting
Empty nesting syndrome
Breakup, separation or divorce
Retirement
Job loss or major change in career
Relocation
Financial gain/loss
Serious illness or disability
Issues pertaining to aging
Death of a loved one
Questioning the meaning of life
Questioning your faith/spirituality
Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. Dr. Nadel creates an environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance.

Life Transitions
Reiss Psychology Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Life transitions — whether it's a family move, parents' divorce, changing schools, a new sibling, or the shift into adolescence — can be some of the most destabilizing experiences for young people, even when the change itself is positive. Some tools that help with life transitions include psychoeducation about the transition process, emotion regulation and grounding skills, cognitive reframing, and identity and narrative work,
