Life Transitions
Melanie Simms
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The transition to adulthood is HARD. I support teenagers and young adults with navigating the unique challenges related to moving from childhood to adulthood. This includes reflecting on one's childhood, healing from traumatic childhood experiences, exploring one's values, and making intentional choices to build the life they want and deserve. Our brains continue developing until our mid-20s and while that might make planning and decision making more difficult during this phase of life, it also means the brain is more elastic and quicker to heal.

Life Transitions
Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Some transitions are chosen and some arrive uninvited, but both can leave you feeling unsteady, unsure of who you are on the other side. I work with people navigating all kinds of change, career shifts, relationship changes, moves, loss, new parenthood, and more, with curiosity and without judgment.

Life Transitions
David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Major life changes can feel overwhelming, even when they are positive. Whether you are dealing with a career shift, relocation, relationship change, or another transition, it can bring uncertainty and stress. In therapy we will make sense of where you are, clarify what matters to you, and work through changes in a way that feels steady and intentional. The goal is to help you navigate change with more confidence and direction.

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.

Life Transitions
Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help people with developmental trauma navigate life transitions by creating a grounded, compassionate space to understand why these moments can feel so overwhelming. Together, we explore the old survival strategies that get activated during change and gently build new ways of relating to yourself that feel safer and more aligned. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative—supporting you as you move through transition with more clarity, self‑trust, and emotional resilience.
