Dr. Munazza Abraham
Psychologist, PhD
I support clients navigating career shifts, identity evolution, relocation, motherhood, partnership changes, and other major turning points. Using an African-Centered Psychology framework, I help clients understand transitions as sacred developmental passages rather than personal failures. Together, we clarify values, strengthen internal grounding, and build intentional next steps rooted in purpose and cultural alignment.
Together, we’ll unpack and challenge internalized messages, build coping skills to navigate life’s ups and downs, and strengthen your capacity to live in alignment with your values and self-defined purpose. My practice emphasizes that “Community is medicine” with my creation of therapy groups to increase your sense of belonging and enhance collective healing. I also tap into ancestral knowledge, holistic and evidence-based practices, and the arts, all combined with your interests to tailor your healing experience.

Changes such as divorce, loss of a loved one, career transitions, becoming a parent, children leaving home, or relocating can disrupt routines and relationships. Many people seek therapy during these periods as they work through decisions and adjust to a new stage of life.

Dr. Bridget Williams
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Change is hard. Even welcome change can dysregulate our nervous system and leave us confused, exhausted, and struggling. Together we can explore what is happening in your life and explore different perspectives to help guide you through these transitions.

Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Life transitions — whether planned or unexpected — can shake our sense of stability and leave us feeling overwhelmed or unsure of ourselves. Many people start to believe something is “wrong” with them, when in reality they’re navigating a normal part of life that simply feels unfamiliar or emotionally heavy.
Changes in relationships, career, family dynamics, or personal identity can create stress, self‑doubt, and confusion, making it hard to stay grounded or move forward with confidence. I provide a compassionate and supportive space where individuals can process these shifts, understand their emotional impact, and learn healthy ways to adjust.
Together, we work to restore clarity, build resilience, and help you move through each new chapter with confidence, purpose, and a renewed sense of self.

Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Life is full of transitions and it is tempting to think they are therefore pretty easy to navigate. But they often are not. They can be difficult. Transitions often involve the unknown which can be particularly difficult emotionally. Bearing the unknown as well as letting go of what was are not easy and this is a common issue in my work with clients. Many people find that therapy during times of transition can help them work through issues in a clearer way. And provide a notable sense of relief.
