Life Transitions
Dr. Maureen J Gallagher
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, whether chosen or unexpected, can stir up uncertainty even when the change is positive. A new job, a move, a relationship beginning or ending, becoming a parent, an empty nest, retirement, or a shift in health can all leave you feeling unsettled and unsure of who you are becoming. These moments often awaken older patterns and feelings as well. Somatic work helps you stay grounded in your body as familiar structures fall away, offering a steady place to return to amid change. Through embodied parts work, we make room for the parts of you that feel excited, afraid, sad, or resistant, so each can be heard. Many clients find that transitions become an opportunity for growth, helping them clarify what matters most and move forward with greater confidence and self-trust.

Life Transitions
Brittany Speed, Hudson Valley Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, whether expected or unexpected, can bring uncertainty, stress, and a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected from what matters most to you. Whether you’re navigating a career change, relationship challenges, changes in family roles, or a new stage of life, therapy can help you make sense of these experiences and find a path forward. Drawing on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help you navigate difficult emotions, shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, and clarify your values so you can approach change with greater flexibility, confidence, and intention.

Even positive changes can bring uncertainty, stress, grief, or questions about who you are and what comes next. I support clients navigating changes in relationships, family, school, career, identity, and other stages of life. Together, we’ll make space for what you’re leaving behind, explore what this transition means for you, and identify the strengths and supports that can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Denise Trainer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.A., L.C.S.W., NCPsyA
Life can often bring unexpected events and transitions, such as divorce, loss of a job, change in career, birth of a new child, loss of loved ones and
relocation. Many of these events go smoothly, but others can cause a ripple which may lead a person to reach out and explore reasons for these events and seek a deeper understanding of their inner life. Together we work on exploring the feelings, the events and gain stronger footing moving forward.
