Anita Tung
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, NCC
I support individuals and couples through life transitions as they find their footing in new chapters—whether adjusting to parenthood, navigating an empty nest or career change, facing the realities of aging or coping with loss. Together, we’ll make space to explore the emotions and uncertainty that comes with change, helping you feel more grounded, clear and confident as you embrace what comes next.

Life Transitions
Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have had the privilege of walking alongside many clients through significant life transitions over time, often as a result of the strong therapeutic relationships and high retention rate I maintain in my practice. These ongoing relationships allow us to do deeper, more sustained work together as clients move through different chapters of their lives, rather than only focusing on a single moment in time.
Life transitions can take many forms- moving from college student to working professional, navigating dating and relationships, transitioning into long-term partnership or marriage, going through divorce or separation, becoming a parent, or adjusting to shifts in career, identity, or life direction. Each stage brings its own emotional challenges, uncertainties, and opportunities for growth.
I also recognize that transitions are not just external changes, but internal ones as well. Often, we find ourselves still holding onto older versions of who we were- past identities, coping patterns, or self-images that no longer fit who we are becoming. These outdated or stuck narratives can quietly influence the choices we make and how we see ourselves.
In our work together, we focus on identifying your core values and what truly matters to you, so you can make decisions that feel more aligned, intentional, and supportive of your wellbeing. My goal is to help you move through life’s transitions with greater clarity, self-trust, and a stronger sense of direction as you continue to grow and evolve.

Life Transitions
Eve Picower
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Change can be difficult, even changes that are perceived as "positive." Many life transitions--graduating from college, getting married, becoming a parent, divorce, changing careers, retirement, loss of a loved one--can stir up a lot for the average person. Life transitions can involve a changing sense of identity, challenge existing relationships, require the development of new relationships, shift priorities, require new boundaries, and even "positive" life transitions can include feelings of loss of the prior self and perceived benefits and freedoms. If you are going through a life transition, I would like to be there to help you process all of your feelings.

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
Elana Blumenthal
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PsyA
Life transitions such as going away to college, changing jobs, retirement, death of loved ones, or dealing with an empty nest are all significant transitions and as such may need support and understanding from an objective person. I work to help clients make sense of this transition they are going through and perhaps even 'rebuild' an identity that incorporates this new stage of their lives.
