Life Transitions
Dr. Weston Donaldson
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Sometimes life changes in ways you wanted. Sometimes it changes in ways you NEVER would have chosen. Either way, you can find yourself wondering, "What am I supposed to do now?!" A relationship ends, you retire from your career, the future you planned no longer makes sense - all can leave you feeling untethered. You may know that something needs to change without knowing what comes next. Therapy can give you space to sort through the uncertainty, figure out what still matters to you, and decide where you want to go from here, without needing to have all the answers.

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
Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Big changes: a new career, an empty nest, retirement, loss, a move, a body that won't do what it used to can leave even grounded people feeling unmoored. Transitions ask us to let go of one version of ourselves before the next has arrived. I help you navigate that in-between with clarity and self-compassion, so you come out the other side steadier, and more yourself, than when you went in.

Life Transitions
Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Major life transitions—career shifts, leadership changes, motherhood, relationship changes, relocation, or identity shifts—can stir up uncertainty, anxiety, and self-doubt, even when the change is positive. These moments often challenge how you see yourself and what you thought your life would look like. In therapy, I integrate CBT and values-based work to help you process the emotional impact of change, clarify what matters most in this season, and move forward with intention. Whether you’re stepping into a new role or reevaluating long-held expectations, our work will focus on helping you navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and alignment.

I support individuals navigating life transitions, whether they are expected changes or circumstances that leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself.
