Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Life transitions can leave you feeling uncertain about who you are, where you are going, and what comes next. Whether you are experiencing a career change, divorce, becoming an empty nester, changes in your relationships, a shift in your family, or simply questioning what you want from this next chapter, transitions can bring both opportunity and emotional upheaval.
I work with individuals who are navigating significant life changes to help them understand what they are experiencing and find a way forward that feels authentic and meaningful. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that may be influencing how you respond to change—and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
My approach is integrative and solution-focused. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, narrative psychology, mindfulness, and strength-based techniques, we examine how your experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and the world around you. We can identify limiting beliefs, challenge self-doubt, and develop healthier ways of responding to uncertainty.
Transitions can also bring an opportunity to reconsider the story you have been telling yourself about who you are and what your life is supposed to look like. Therapy can help you separate yourself from the problem, reconnect with your strengths, and create a new narrative for the next portion of your life.
My goal is not simply to help you get through a transition. It is to help you understand yourself more deeply, make intentional choices, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Sometimes the life you imagined changes. Together, we can explore what is possible in the life that comes next.

Rebecca Dudley
Psychologist, PhD
I provide a warm, personable, focused, and judgment-free space to work through presenting problems and find effective solutions. Each client has different needs, so I will meet you where you are, metaphorically, to help you feel and function better. I have a large "tool kit" of cognitive and behavioral tools to pull from so that we can collaboratively determine an individualized approach to treatment based on what we determine works best for you. I frequently work with young adults struggling with life transitions, and treatment often focuses on exploring and restructuring the root cause of difficulty with change and building autonomy to learn to manage transitions more effectively.

My client base ranges from 18 to 90 years old, so I have experience working with all the transitions of adult life. From school to career to marriage to parenthood to menopause to grief. My therapeutic approach of being supportive yet directive, and having insight into the emotions attached to each life stage is a valuable asset I bring to my clients.

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.

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.
