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.

Life Transitions
Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Even positive changes can feel destabilizing. I help you navigate these shifts with more clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of grounding as you adjust to what’s next.

Life Transitions
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
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. Periods of change such as starting a new job, becoming a parent, or entering a new phase of life, can bring both uncertainty and opportunity. I work with you to process these shifts and move through them with greater clarity and intention.

Life Transitions
Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in life transitions.
A move, a wedding, a new job, a baby, retirement: even a change you wanted can leave you feeling like you have not caught up to it. You might be telling everyone you are excited while mostly feeling lost, second-guessing a decision you have already made, or homesick for a life you chose to leave behind. Career changes, big moves, becoming a parent, empty nest, and returning to school after time away often bring people to this work.
I work psychoanalytically, which means these reactions are not treated as random. They carry an unconscious logic worth understanding, often tied to expectations and fears you absorbed long before this particular change arrived. Part of this work is mourning, since even a wanted change can quietly close a door on a former version of yourself, and loss that goes unnamed tends to surface sideways, as irritability, numbness, or the sense that something is wrong with the new life. Named and understood, it tends to loosen its hold.
If a change in your life has unsettled you more than you expected, I would be glad to talk.
