Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions (even those that are wanted or carefully planned) can challenge our resilience and unsettle familiar roles, routines, relationships, identities, and expectations for the future. Transitions may involve beginning or ending a relationship, moving, pursuing an academic path, building a family, taking on caregiving responsibilities, coping with loss or changes in health, or entering a new stage of life. They can bring excitement and possibility alongside stress, uncertainty, grief, or a sense of feeling unmoored.
Therapy can provide support as you make sense of what is changing, adjust to new circumstances, process what you may be leaving behind, and consider what you want to carry forward. Our work may involve clarifying your needs and values, strengthening coping and decision-making skills, developing greater flexibility and self-compassion, and identifying realistic ways to move through the transition and into what comes next.

Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Periods of life transition can leave even confident people feeling uncertain about what comes next. Changes in career, relationships, identity, or major life roles often bring both opportunity and emotional strain. In therapy, I help clients think clearly through transitions, process the stress of change, and move forward with greater confidence and stability.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Even positive changes can leave you feeling unsettled. Career changes, becoming a parent, moving, relationship changes, shifting family roles, or entering a new stage of life can challenge your sense of identity and direction. Therapy can help you make sense of what is changing, clarify what matters to you, and move forward with greater confidence.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients navigate major life and career transitions, including changes in work, relationships, family roles, identity, leadership responsibilities, and personal goals. Even positive transitions can bring stress, uncertainty, self-doubt, and pressure to make the right choice. In therapy, we work on clarifying what matters, managing anxiety, strengthening confidence, and building a realistic path forward. My goal is to help clients move through change with more clarity, stability, and trust in themselves.

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.
