Life Transitions
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sometimes the life you've worked toward no longer feels the way you expected it to, or a major change leaves you unsure of who you are and what comes next. Marriage, parenthood, career changes, illness, caregiving, aging, and other transitions can unsettle familiar identities, relationships, and expectations, even when the change is wanted. I help clients make sense of the emotions that accompany these turning points, including grief for what is changing, uncertainty about what lies ahead, the discovery that old ways of living no longer fit, and the identification of the values you want to guide you moving forward. Therapy offers an opportunity not just to adjust to a new chapter, but to reconsider what matters to you and how you want to live it.

Life Transitions
Dr. Karina Luaces
Psychologist, PsyD.
Major life changes — career shifts, relationship changes, loss, relocation, or entering a new chapter — can leave us feeling unmoored. Therapy offers a space to process, find clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional steadiness.

Life Transitions
Dr. Katerina Nair
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I support individuals navigating life transitions, whether they are expected changes or circumstances that leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. I hope to provide a safe space to process change, explore how past experiences and relationships may influence how you navigate transitions, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

Life Transitions
Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Transitions can be difficult regardless of whether they are planned or unplanned, positive, or negative. Career changes, becoming a parent, health issues, a breakup, a move, a milestone birthday that hits harder than expected, caregiving stress, loss and grief - transitions can destabilize even people who are usually steady. I help clients make sense of what's shifting, grieve what's being left behind where needed, and move forward with more clarity about what they actually want next.

Life Transitions
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.
