Jennifer Pudlo Therapy & Wellness Consulting
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can bring uncertainty, grief, stress, and a loss of direction, even when they lead to positive change. I provide a supportive and compassionate space to help you process these changes, navigate the emotions that accompany them, and develop the resilience needed to move forward with confidence. Together, we'll identify your strengths, clarify what matters most to you, and help you embrace this new chapter with greater purpose, balance, and hope.

Life Transitions
Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Major life transitions ; a new marriage, a career change, the loss of a relationship, becoming a parent, or simply the quiet sense that life needs to look different can shake even the most grounded person. Therapy provides a steady space to process what's changing, clarify what you want, and move forward with more intention and confidence. Transitions are hard. They're also an invitation to grow.

Life Transitions
Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Big life changes can disrupt our sense of stability and identity. Whether you’re adjusting to new parenthood, navigating relationship changes, moving, shifting careers, or entering a new stage of life, transitions can bring unexpected stress, grief, or self-doubt.
Therapy offers space to process what’s changing while strengthening your ability to adapt and move forward. As an LCSW trained in EMDR and certified in Perinatal Mental Health, I help clients work through difficult experiences, release old patterns, and navigate life transitions with greater resilience, clarity, and self-understanding.

Life Transitions
Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Life transitions often hold both possibility and uncertainty, growth and grief, excitement and disorientation. Whether navigating career changes, relationship shifts, parenthood, neurodivergent discovery, disability, chronic illness, identity exploration, aging, relocation, caregiving, spiritual shifts, educational transitions, retirement, or major life decisions, periods of change can invite us to reconsider who we are, what matters, and how we want to move through the world.
Transitions are not only practical experiences. They are often nervous system experiences, identity experiences, relational experiences, and sometimes deeply emotional or existential ones. Even changes that are welcomed or chosen can bring loss, complexity, ambiguity, and unexpected challenges alongside hope, relief, and possibility.
This work creates space to make sense of change at a pace that honors your capacity, pace, and lived experience. Exploration may include emerging identities, shifting roles, changing relationships, questions of belonging, evolving values, grief for what is ending, and uncertainty about what comes next. Particular attention is given to the ways culture, family expectations, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, spirituality, and other intersecting identities shape how transitions are experienced and navigated.
My approach integrates mindfulness, somatic therapy, EMDR, parts work, neuropsychotherapy, expressive arts, and liberation-oriented healing to support greater self-understanding, nervous system regulation, flexibility, and self-trust during times of change. Rather than rushing toward answers or certainty, therapy offers space to listen for what is emerging, honor what is being left behind, and remain connected to yourself as new possibilities unfold. Often, the work is less about finding the "right" path and more about cultivating the clarity, courage, and self-trust to walk it in a way that feels aligned with your values, needs, and authentic self.

Escondido is an inland North San Diego County city with a majority Latino population and a character that distinguishes it from the coastal communities most associated with San Diego, and its mental health landscape reflects the economic pressures, immigration-related stress, and community challenges of a working-class city navigating rapid suburban growth alongside significant social needs. Spanish-language therapy is essential in Escondido, and bilingual practitioners who can work culturally competently with Mexican-American and immigrant communities are in significant demand. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Escondido, and a private therapy sector serves those in a position to access it. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship stress, acculturation challenges, and the economic pressures of living in one of California's most expensive regions while working in agriculture, construction, or the service sector.
