Life Transitions
Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Transitions are disorienting because they require you to let go of an identity before the new one is fully formed. Whether you're navigating a career change, a move, the end of a relationship, becoming a parent, or any other major shift — the discomfort you're feeling isn't weakness. It's the gap between who you were and who you're becoming. At Simple Empathy we help you move through that gap with clarity, honesty and depth. We'll look at what you're leaving behind, what you're afraid of, and who you actually want to be on the other side.

Life Transitions
Cascade Psychological Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Even welcome changes can unsettle identity, relationships, and familiar ways of coping. I work with adults navigating career changes, parenthood, relocation, health changes, separation, family restructuring, and other turning points, helping them make meaning of what is changing while choosing how they want to move forward.

Life Transitions
Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, whether anticipated or unexpected, can disrupt our sense of identity, stability, purpose, and connection with others. Changes in relationships, careers, family roles, health, or life circumstances may bring opportunities for growth alongside feelings of uncertainty, grief, anxiety, or loss. I work with individuals to navigate these transitions with greater awareness, self-compassion, and intentionality. Rather than focusing solely on adjusting to change, we explore how these experiences relate to personal values, identity, relationships, and meaning. Together, we work toward embracing new possibilities, developing greater resilience, and finding ways to move forward with authenticity, purpose, and a renewed sense of direction.

Life Transitions
Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Big changes: a new career, an empty nest, retirement, loss, a move, a body that won't do what it used to can leave even grounded people feeling unmoored. Transitions ask us to let go of one version of ourselves before the next has arrived. I help you navigate that in-between with clarity and self-compassion, so you come out the other side steadier, and more yourself, than when you went in.

Life Transitions
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Life transitions can place unexpected stress on even the strongest relationships. Changes such as marriage, parenthood, career shifts, relocation, grief, caregiving, retirement, or changes in identity and priorities can impact communication, emotional connection, and daily routines. Gottman Method couples therapy helps partners navigate these transitions together by actively guiding conversations into deeper understanding of each partner's dreams to create a shared dream and direction. Through evidence-based tools and guided conversations, couples learn how to manage stress more effectively, strengthen emotional intimacy, and adapt to change while staying connected as a team.
The most common life transition that I help couples navigate is the "empty nest." Many people find themselves lonely and resentful at this stage of life and come into therapy to find themselves, their partner, and a new dream of a life together.
