Advent Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT (R.N.-retired)
Even welcome change can unsettle our foundations. Career shifts, relationship changes, an empty nest, retirement, relocation — whatever transition you find yourself in, we will seek God's guidance together, attend to what you are leaving behind, and move forward with clarity and confidence in His purpose for you.

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.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Working with clients during big life transitions is a particularly fruitful time. I bring in multiple approaches to help in transitions, including coping skills, insight-oriented work, steady support in our therapeutic relationship, and nervous system regulation techniques for stabilization. Life transitions can be wonderful opportunities for growth, even if they can be rocky in the process. I view myself somewhat as a midwife through the experience, helping guide you and encourage you as you birth into your next chapter.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Whether it’s a career change, relocation, new parenthood, or another major shift, transitions tend to surface old patterns just as much as they create new stress. I help clients navigate the practical disruption while using the transition as a chance to understand and update long-held beliefs about themselves that may no longer serve them.

12 Years Experience
Online in Modesto, CA
Modesto sits at the center of California's San Joaquin Valley and is shaped by its agricultural economy — the surrounding Stanislaus County produces almonds, milk, and poultry at nationally significant scale — with therapists frequently addressing the mental health effects of agricultural work, including seasonal income volatility and the physical and psychological demands of farm labor. The city has a large Hispanic population and a significant community of Punjabi Sikh agricultural workers and business owners, creating demand for bilingual and culturally informed therapists who understand immigration stress and cross-cultural family dynamics. Memorial Medical Center and Doctors Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, while California State University Stanislaus supplies clinical training to the local community. Modesto's relatively high rates of poverty and crime create a therapy landscape in which economic stress and community trauma are recurring clinical themes.
