Life Transitions
Valerie Merriman

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
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
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been disrupted or reshaped in ways that ask real questions about who they are now. This might include graduating and stepping into adult life, feeling unsure about next steps in a demanding career, becoming a parent or adding a child, separation or divorce, major shifts in important relationships, retirement, moves that change your community, health changes, or later‑life questions about how you want to live the time ahead. Even wanted or carefully planned changes can feel disorienting. You might notice old patterns resurfacing, feel pulled between different parts of yourself, or find that what used to motivate you no longer does. People around you may expect you to be excited, grateful, or to “figure it out,” while inside you feel unsettled, numb, or unsure which way to go. In our work together, we focus on helping your nervous system and daily life stabilize enough to move through this transition, while also exploring the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and identity that it brings up. We pay attention to what is ending, what is beginning, and what feels most true for you now, so the change you are living through can become more grounded and more aligned with a life that actually fits you.

Life Transitions
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.

Overland Park is one of the most affluent suburbs in the Kansas City metro — anchored by a growing healthcare sector and a large concentration of financial services and technology firms — creating consistent demand for therapists working with corporate burnout, perfectionism, and the relationship pressures that come with high-achieving suburban family life. The city's predominantly White, upper-middle-class character coexists with a growing South Asian and East Asian professional population that adds cultural diversity to therapy demand. Johnson County Mental Health Center provides community mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community concentrated in southern Overland Park. The city's suburban character and dispersed layout contribute to social isolation concerns that therapists increasingly encounter in their work.
