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.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Transitions can challenge your sense of stability, even when they’re leading you toward something new. In our work, we focus on helping you adapt, process, and find your footing again. I will support you in feeling more grounded, hopeful, and trusting in yourself as you move into this next chapter.

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.

Life Transitions
Jarrece Patrick
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC
Life transitions can feel overwhelming and frightening, but you don't have to navigate these shifts alone. Whether you are moving to a new city, starting a new career, navigating a breakup, or facing the complexities of aging, these periods of change often leave us feeling unmoored and anxious. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where we can unpack the uncertainty of your current situation, identify the strengths you already possess, and build the resilience needed to move forward with confidence. Together, we will turn these moments of transition into opportunities for personal growth and lasting change.
