Life Transitions
Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
Life transitions therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to help individuals navigate significant, often stressful, life changes—such as career shifts, divorce, loss, or aging—by providing coping skills, emotional support, and strategies to manage anxiety. It focuses on navigating uncertainty, processing grief or loss, and rebuilding a sense of identity. Therapy can help by: Offering a safe space to process and validate feelings of sadness, fear, or anxiety related to change; teach practical tools to handle and cope with stress caused by the changes, such as grounding techniques and mindfulness; identifies strengths by redefining personal identity and purpose, and transforming challenging transitions into growth opportunities.

Life Transitions
Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Life transitions can be a catalyst for new growth or can leave us stuck in paralysis while we grieve all we are leaving behind. The end of a marriage, losing ground in your career, moving from a familiar hometown can all leave us feeling untethered and unable to find our way. Even the most accomplished and confident person can find themselves at a loss when all the recognizable signposts have been moved. During our time together, we can identify both the sorrow in moving forward and the new opportunities that may present themselves in disguise!

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.

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.

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.
