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
Anna Schick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
A career change, the end of a relationship, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or adjusting to a new stage of life can bring unexpected challenges. Even changes you've chosen or looked forward to can leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or questioning what comes next. You may find yourself rethinking your priorities, your relationships, or what you want for your future. Therapy offers a space to work through these feelings, better understand your needs, and find your footing during times of change. Together, we can help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of yourself.

Periods of change—even positive ones—can bring uncertainty, anxiety, or a sense of losing your footing. Therapy focuses on helping you make sense of what’s shifting, stay grounded through the transition, and move forward in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.

Life transitions—whether chosen or unexpected—can disrupt your sense of identity, stability, and direction. Changes involving relationships, career, relocation, health, aging, parenthood, retirement, or loss may bring uncertainty, grief, anxiety, and self-doubt alongside the possibility of growth.
I provide a supportive space to process what is changing, honor what is being left behind, and clarify what matters most moving forward. Together, we strengthen coping skills, rebuild confidence, and approach the next chapter with greater self-understanding, resilience, and purpose.
