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
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
One of Michael's specialties is helping people navigate the often "neither here nor there" psychological and emotional space in which important transitions take place. This can be a concrete transition, such as going to college/seeing children off to college, changing jobs, moving, formalizing a relationship's beginning or end, or having children. It can also be a less well defined but no less powerful transition, such as moving into your mid 30's, reaching mid-life, approaching retirement or just realizing that something different is desired. Michael approaches these transitional moments with the client, turning to the therapy relationship to identify how a transition can lead to growth and even to transformation.

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
Megan Noren
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Life transitions can bring a mix of emotions, even when a change is expected or something you've chosen. Whether you're navigating a shift in relationships, changes in family roles, a career transition, becoming a parent, or adjusting to a new stage of life, you may find yourself feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the person you used to be. Therapy offers a space to make sense of these changes, explore what you're leaving behind and moving toward, and better understand what you need in this next chapter. Together, we can work through the emotions that accompany change, reconnect with your values, and develop a clearer sense of direction. My goal is to help you navigate uncertainty with greater self-trust and self-compassion as you create a life that feels meaningful and authentic to you.

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.
