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
Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
Life transitions occur throughout our development, and some can be quite destabilizing, especially when unexpected. Even positive life transitions (career changes, etc.) can be fraught with stress. As a therapist who has personal and professional experience with major life transitions, I enjoy working within the challenge of re-defining aspects of one's identity, whether by choice or not.

Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Major life changes often bring uncertainty, even when they're positive. Whether you're navigating a career change, identity shift, relationship change, becoming a parent, retirement, or another transition, therapy offers space to slow down and make sense of what you're experiencing. Together, we'll explore both the practical and emotional challenges that come with change while developing the flexibility to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Change—even when it is chosen or positive—can completely disrupt our sense of stability, leaving us feeling untethered, anxious, or unsure of who we are anymore. Anne provides a warm, open, and collaborative space to help you safely ground yourself during periods of significant life transition. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, she partners with individuals to navigate the shifting landscapes of identity, routine, and expectation, helping them move through uncertainty with clarity and confidence.
Anne’s integrative approach is uniquely designed for seasons of change. By combining traditional talk therapy with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and creative art therapy, she helps clients process complex emotions that are often hard to articulate. Whether you are navigating the profound shift into parenthood (maternal, paternal, or parental mental health), weathering a new medical diagnosis, processing deep grief and bereavement, or restructuring your life after professional burnout or a career pivot, Anne will help you build practical coping strategies to bridge the gap between where you’ve been and where you are going.

Life Transitions
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Every major transition — a move, a loss, a new beginning, the end of something that defined you — strips away the structure you had been living inside without noticing. What remains can feel like nothing. That blankness is not emptiness. It is the space before the next thing, and it requires a particular kind of patience. Therapy during transition is not about figuring out the next step. It is about tolerating the interval long enough to discover what actually wants to emerge, rather than grabbing for the first thing that will make the uncertainty stop.

Beck Gardner
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A.
Psychoanalytic therapy and it's goal of self understanding can be particularly helpful when you're navigating a major life transition. I work with people at transitions at various ages, but I particularly enjoy working with young adults as they navigate the world in a new way.

There are many types of life transitions and even those viewed as positive may come with stress and difficulty.

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals navigating life transitions by helping them process change and adjust to new roles, expectations, or identities. Life transitions can include shifts in relationships, career changes, moving, or other periods of uncertainty that can feel overwhelming or destabilizing. In therapy, we focus on making sense of these changes, building coping strategies, and increasing your ability to tolerate uncertainty. I incorporate CBT and ACT-based approaches to help you stay grounded during times of change while moving forward with greater clarity and intention.
