Life Transitions
LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Life transitions can leave you feeling uncertain, ungrounded, or overwhelmed as you navigate change. Whether you are moving through a career shift, breakup or divorce, relocation, midlife crisis, identity changes, parenthood, aging, loss, or a major personal reinvention, even positive changes can bring stress, confusion, grief, and anxiety about what comes next.
As a therapist, sexologist, and tantra practitioner, I help clients move through periods of transition with clarity, emotional support, and deeper self-understanding. Together, we explore what is ending, what is emerging, and what may be ready to shift within you so you can make decisions from a more grounded and aligned place.
This work is about helping you move through change with greater stability, self-trust, and intention so you can step into the next chapter of your life with more confidence, direction, and inner connection.

Life Transitions
Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Life transitions can bring both opportunity and uncertainty. I work with adults and parents who are navigating major changes such as becoming a parent, shifts in relationships, career changes, relocation, or other periods of personal growth and adjustment. Even positive changes can create stress, self-doubt, or a sense of feeling ungrounded.
In therapy, we create space to slow down and make sense of these transitions. My approach integrates relational and neuroscience-informed perspectives to help clients better understand their emotional responses, clarify what matters most to them, and move through change with greater confidence and self-understanding. Together, we work to build resilience and support clients in navigating new chapters in a way that feels authentic and aligned with their values.

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
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions like divorce or relationship changes, empty nest, career change, relocation, retirement, or big life decisions can leave you feeling isolated, unsure of yourself and anxious. It takes tremendous courage to make a bold change. And no one really knows in advance exactly how it will turn out. As Martin Luther King Jr said, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Collaborating with a skilled therapist can give you the support you need to find clarity and take wise, well thought through calculated risks that will open up possibilities for you. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from old patterns, and help you to establish the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Life Transitions
Sarah Jane Thomas
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Growth rarely happens on a perfect schedule, especially when you are dealing with career changes, family expectations, or losing people and places that used to make sense of your world. Maybe you are stepping into a new role as a caregiver, letting go of friendships that no longer fit, or trying to find your footing after a big move or loss. These moments can leave you feeling untethered or unsure of who you are supposed to be right now. We will sit with those messy feelings together, honoring the parts of your life that are ending while gently helping you build a way forward that actually fits your values. You do not have to figure it all out on your own before you start this work.

Long Beach is home to one of the largest Cambodian-American communities in the world — concentrated in the Cambodian Cultural District near Anaheim Street — creating significant demand for therapists with expertise in intergenerational trauma, refugee experience, and the psychological legacy of the Khmer Rouge genocide. The city also has large Latino and Black populations, a growing young professional community, and one of the busiest commercial ports in North America, with maritime and logistics workers forming part of its occupational therapy clientele. MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and the Long Beach VA Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community serving Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, and the East Side. Long Beach's diverse, working-class identity gives its therapy community a distinct character compared to its wealthier South Bay neighbors.
