Life Transitions
Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, stress, and a mix of emotions—even when the change is expected or positive. I support clients as they navigate major shifts such as career changes, relationship changes, identity development, and new stages of adulthood. In our work together, we focus on processing what is shifting, making sense of emotional responses, and identifying what stability and direction look like for you moving forward. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and confident as you adjust to change, while building clarity, resilience, and self-trust along the way.

Life Transitions
Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Transitions can be difficult regardless of whether they are planned or unplanned, positive, or negative. Career changes, becoming a parent, health issues, a breakup, a move, a milestone birthday that hits harder than expected, caregiving stress, loss and grief - transitions can destabilize even people who are usually steady. I help clients make sense of what's shifting, grieve what's being left behind where needed, and move forward with more clarity about what they actually want next.

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults navigate life transitions with greater confidence, resilience, and clarity. Major changes such as career shifts, relationship changes, marriage, divorce, parenthood, infertility, relocation, retirement, health concerns, and other significant life events can bring uncertainty, stress, and emotional challenges. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients adapt to change, manage anxiety and self-doubt, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with their values and goals. My goal is to help clients successfully navigate life's transitions while building a meaningful and fulfilling future.

Life Transitions
Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
Life transitions such as graduating from college, getting married, having children, relationship changes, and retirement can often be full of a mixture of emotions like excitement, sadness, grief, and loss. Going through these changes can also result in feeling isolated from others because they may not understand how you are feeling. It is common to experience a wide range of emotions with any life change whether it is viewed as something positive or negative. As someone who has worked with many people going through significant life changes, I would be honored to help you navigate this change in your life.

Over time, I’ve developed a particular interest in working with life-stage transitions, whether that’s navigating adulthood, aging, shifting relationships, or redefining identity.
