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.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life transitions—whether expected or sudden—can bring uncertainty, stress, and a sense of being unmoored. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming as familiar structures shift. In therapy, we create space to process what’s changing, make sense of mixed emotions, and clarify what matters most to you during this time. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded and able to navigate transitions with greater confidence and direction.

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 These outdated or stuck narratives can quietly influence the choices we make and how we see ourselves.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.

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.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
Major life changes, even the ones we choose, can leave us feeling unstable, uncertain of who we are, and nervous about the future. I help clients navigate transitions with curiosity rather than anxiety, using them as an opportunity to deepen self-understanding and reconnect with what's really important.

East Harlem — El Barrio — is upper Manhattan's historic Puerto Rican heart, now shared with Mexican and West African communities, a neighborhood of deep cultural pride carrying some of Manhattan's highest rates of poverty and health disparity. Behavioral health need runs high, and the neighborhood hosts significant infrastructure in response, including major hospital behavioral programs and community organizations with generations of local trust. Spanish-language and culturally grounded care remain the constant demand.
