Life Transitions
Elizabeth Nogel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Change can be both exciting and challenging, whether you’re starting a new job, navigating a breakup, becoming a parent, or adjusting to a major life shift. Our individual therapy sessions offer a compassionate space to process your emotions, gain clarity, and rediscover your sense of direction during times of transition.

Life Transitions
Melanie Collins
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, LCMHC, Coach
Life transitions can disrupt even a strong sense of who you are and where you’re headed. Changes in relationships, careers, family roles, health, aging, or other major life circumstances can bring uncertainty alongside unexpected opportunities for growth. I help clients navigate these periods with greater clarity, understand what they want to carry forward and what they’re ready to leave behind, and build a life that reflects who they are becoming rather than simply who they have been.

Life Transitions
Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Life transitions can be a catalyst for new growth or can leave us stuck in paralysis while we grieve all we are leaving behind. The end of a marriage, losing ground in your career, moving from a familiar hometown can all leave us feeling untethered and unable to find our way. Even the most accomplished and confident person can find themselves at a loss when all the recognizable signposts have been moved. During our time together, we can identify both the sorrow in moving forward and the new opportunities that may present themselves in disguise!

Life Transitions
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.

Kansas City, Kansas is a distinct city from its more prominent Missouri neighbor across the state line, with a lower median income, a more industrial economic base, and a substantially more diverse population that includes large Latino, Somali, and other immigrant communities for whom culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health care is a significant need. Wyandotte County, which encompasses Kansas City, Kansas, has fewer mental health resources than the Missouri side of the metro, and many residents cross into Missouri to access the broader Kansas City mental health market. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related stress and trauma, family dynamics, economic anxiety, depression, and the challenges of navigating daily life in a community where language barriers can limit access to support. University of Kansas Health System, based in the city, provides some behavioral health services, and community health centers fill important gaps in a county with significant unmet mental health need.
