Life Transitions
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!

Major life changes often bring uncertainty, grief, and opportunities for growth. I help clients process what's ending, embrace what's emerging, and move through transitions with greater self-trust.

Life Transitions
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life is full of change, and even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. Whether you're starting a new career, ending a relationship, becoming a parent, coping with an empty nest, relocating, retiring, graduating, or navigating another significant life change, transitions often bring uncertainty, stress, grief, and questions about your identity or future.
At Holding Space Therapy, we understand that major life changes can affect your emotional well-being, relationships, confidence, and sense of stability. You may feel anxious about the unknown, overwhelmed by new responsibilities, or find yourself grieving the life you once knew. Therapy provides a supportive space to process these emotions while helping you adapt to change with greater resilience and self-compassion.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen coping skills, regulate difficult emotions, and build confidence as you move through life's transitions. If past experiences or unresolved trauma are making change feel especially difficult, therapy can also help you process those experiences so they no longer hold you back. Our goal is not simply to help you get through change, but to help you grow from it. Together, we'll explore your strengths, clarify your values, establish healthy boundaries, and create practical strategies that support your personal and emotional well-being.

Life Transitions
Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Life transitions, even the ones we choose, can be unexpectedly difficult. It’s important to remember struggling during these moments isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a natural response to change. Be patient with yourself, allow space for emotions, and resist the urge to rush the process. Growth doesn’t happen all at once, and neither does adjustment. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer someone else navigating a big shift.

Elk Grove is a fast-growing, notably diverse Sacramento suburb with large Asian-American (including Hmong), South Asian, Latino, and Black communities, drawing families with newer housing and well-regarded schools. Mental health needs center on parenting and academic pressure, intergenerational and immigrant family dynamics, and building community in neighborhoods where many residents are newcomers. Sacramento's regional provider market and growing local practices serve the city, with culturally specific care in rising demand.
