Life Transitions
Shohreh ("Sho-ray") Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
What are life transitions? Well, some examples can include:
- Beginning or ending a relationship
such as divorce, a separation or breakup
- A shift in your career such as a salary change, job promotion, job loss or more responsibilities in your job role
- Becoming a new parent or having additional children
- Becoming a caregiver
- Moving to a new city, state, country, place
or to a new culture
- Navigating illness or healing
from illness
- Changes in identity
- Entering a new stage of adulthood, such as “Midlife crisis”, “Quarter Midlife crisis”, Perimenopause or Menopause or becoming an “Empty nester”
Life transitions can reshape how you see yourself and the world around you. Even when the change is expected, it can still feel overwhelming, confusing or brand new. In our work together, I can help you to process the layers of feelings that may come up with the changes, the parts of you that have complex feelings around these transitions, and what feels helpful as you move forward.

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.

Life Transitions
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions like divorce or relationship changes, empty nest, career change, relocation, retirement, or big life decisions can leave you feeling isolated, unsure of yourself and anxious. It takes tremendous courage to make a bold change. And no one really knows in advance exactly how it will turn out. As Martin Luther King Jr said, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Collaborating with a skilled therapist can give you the support you need to find clarity and take wise, well thought through calculated risks that will open up possibilities for you. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from old patterns, and help you to establish the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Life Transitions
Debbie Cherry
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Major transitions can expose relationship patterns that were easier to manage when life was more predictable. Moving in together in San Francisco, relocating to Los Angeles, getting engaged, becoming parents, changing careers, or entering a new stage of marriage can all require couples to renegotiate how they operate as a team. I help couples navigate these transitions intentionally so change becomes an opportunity to strengthen the partnership rather than simply something to survive.

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.
