Life Transitions
Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions can bring a mixture of excitement, uncertainty, grief, and possibility. Whether you are navigating a new chapter in your career, a change in relationships, parenthood, divorce, an empty nest, or another significant shift, even positive changes can leave you feeling unmoored or unsure of who you are becoming. My approach is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy, helping you make space for the emotions that arise without judging or rushing through them. Together, we explore the beliefs, expectations, and patterns that may no longer serve you while reconnecting with your values and the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked along the way. I believe transitions can be an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and approach yourself with greater curiosity and kindness. Therapy can provide a supportive space to process what you are leaving behind, make sense of where you are today, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and intention.

Life Transitions
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When new stressors and major transitions arise, they can activate old patterns that make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening in your life today while also working to understand how the past is informing the present. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do both, so you can reduce distress you are feeling now, and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Major life changes, even the ones we choose, can leave us feeling unstable, uncertain of who we are, and nervous about the future. I help clients navigate transitions with curiosity rather than anxiety, using them as an opportunity to deepen self-understanding and reconnect with what's really important.

Life Transitions
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
Life transitions unsettle us even when we choose them. A new relationship, a separation, a move, a career change, or a shift in identity can all disturb our usual ways of knowing who we are and where we belong. Together we can make room for what transitions stir up, including grief for what is ending, anxiety about what comes next, and parts of yourself that can emerge for the first time.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Major life changes such as career shifts, relocation, relationship changes, or new responsibilities can create stress and emotional uncertainty. I help individuals navigate these transitions by building coping strategies, clarifying goals, and strengthening emotional resilience. Support during these periods can help individuals adjust more confidently and maintain emotional balance.
