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
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
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.
