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
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Life transitions can unsettle far more than a schedule or familiar routine; they can disrupt identity, belonging, relationships, and the future you expected to inhabit. Even wanted changes such as marriage, motherhood, graduation, career advancement, or retirement may carry grief alongside possibility, while divorce, loss, relocation, illness, or an empty nest can leave the former version of life suddenly inaccessible. Therapy creates room to honor what the transition has ended, examine what it is asking of you now, and define who you are becoming in its wake.

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.

Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
Big life changes can disrupt our sense of stability and identity. Whether you’re adjusting to new parenthood, navigating relationship changes, moving, shifting careers, or entering a new stage of life, transitions can bring unexpected stress, grief, or self-doubt.
Therapy offers space to process what’s changing while strengthening your ability to adapt and move forward. As an LCSW trained in EMDR and certified in Perinatal Mental Health, I help clients work through difficult experiences, release old patterns, and navigate life transitions with greater resilience, clarity, and self-understanding.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.
