Life transitions include beginning and ending relationships, gaining or losing family or household members, coming out or affirming gender, and relocating
There are many types of life transitions and even those viewed as positive may come with stress and difficulty.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
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
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.

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.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Major life changes, even the ones we choose, can leave us feeling unstable, uncertain of who we are, and nervous about the future. I help clients navigate transitions with curiosity rather than anxiety, using them as an opportunity to deepen self-understanding and reconnect with what's really important.
