Life Transitions
Cindy Lee Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
I work with adults navigating major life transitions, including relationship changes, divorce or separation, career shifts, relocation, identity changes, and periods of uncertainty or loss. Even when transitions are expected or chosen, they can bring up anxiety, grief, self-doubt, and a loss of stability or direction.
My approach helps you move through these periods with greater clarity and emotional grounding. Rather than focusing only on decision-making or problem-solving, we also explore the emotional and nervous system responses that often accompany change, including fear, overwhelm, or feeling stuck between what was and what comes next.
I use a trauma-informed framework and may incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) when past experiences are activated during transitions or when change is connected to earlier attachment or trauma patterns. These modalities help reduce emotional intensity and support greater internal stability during times of disruption.
I also integrate nervous system regulation and attachment-focused work, which can be especially helpful when transitions activate old patterns such as people-pleasing, avoidance, or difficulty trusting your own decisions. Therapy is paced to match your needs, with a focus on helping you feel more grounded and self-directed.
Clients often find that as they move through life transitions with support, they gain not only clarity about external decisions, but also a stronger internal sense of confidence, resilience, and direction.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Major life changes—whether expected or sudden—can bring uncertainty, stress, and a sense of disorientation. I help individuals navigate transitions by understanding how these changes connect to identity, relationships, and internal expectations. Therapy focuses on gaining clarity, adapting to change, and moving forward with greater intention.

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life transitions — whether chosen or unexpected — can shake our sense of identity and leave us feeling unsteady. I work with people navigating all kinds of change: career shifts, relationship endings, becoming a parent, loss of a role, or simply the feeling that the life you once knew no longer fits. Together, we'll create space to process what you're leaving behind, clarify what you're moving toward, and rebuild a sense of groundedness along the way.
