Life Transitions
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?
There’s no denying that life often presents us with our fair share of challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome any adversity but also transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted or expected, can influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our family and our communities.
Common Life Transitions
Some of the most common life transitions we help clients navigate are:
Moving away to college
Adjusting to university life or your first professional job
Getting married
Having a new baby
Parenting
Empty nesting syndrome
Breakup, separation or divorce
Retirement
Job loss or major change in career
Relocation
Financial gain/loss
Serious illness or disability
Issues pertaining to aging
Death of a loved one
Questioning the meaning of life
Questioning your faith/spirituality
Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. Dr. Nadel creates an environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance.

Life Transitions
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.
