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.

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.

A change in relationships, work, health, or identity can bring uncertainty alongside new possibilities. These external changes may call for internal shifts in perspective and behavior.

Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
Life is a series of changes, so good, some bad. Resiliency and flexibility are critical tools to help us navigate through. Change your perspective to see all the options before you. I help people persevere through "adulting", getting the first professional job, relationships, marriage, divorce, grief and loss and any other life transition. Your role in the family, at work, relationships and life also may need to change to achieve the balance and support you deserve. "We train people how to treat us." Sometimes we need to also train ourselves to become what we should be.
