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
Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Life transitions can be a catalyst for new growth or can leave us stuck in paralysis while we grieve all we are leaving behind. The end of a marriage, losing ground in your career, moving from a familiar hometown can all leave us feeling untethered and unable to find our way. Even the most accomplished and confident person can find themselves at a loss when all the recognizable signposts have been moved. During our time together, we can identify both the sorrow in moving forward and the new opportunities that may present themselves in disguise!

Life Transitions
Amanda Etienne
Psychologist, Psy.D
Even good changes can bring up grief, identity confusion, or a strange kind of emptiness you didn't expect. I help you make sense of what's shifting, understand what you're actually grieving or afraid of, and find your footing again without rushing the process.

Life Transitions
Dr. Kelly Scherger
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Life transitions, whether expected or unexpected, can bring opportunities for growth alongside uncertainty, stress, grief, or a shifting sense of identity. Changes in relationships, health, career, family roles, or other important areas of life can leave you feeling stressed and wondering how to find your footing. I offer a supportive space to process these changes, gain perspective, and explore what matters most to you. Together, we work toward developing clarity, resilience, and a meaningful path forward that aligns with your personal values and evolving needs.
