Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Periods of transition such as career changes, relationship shifts, relocation, perimenopause, new parenthood or or major life decisions can bring uncertainty, stress, and questions about identity or direction. While transitions can be challenging, they can also offer opportunities for reflection and growth. Anneka works with clients to navigate these changes thoughtfully, helping them process the emotional impact of transitions while gaining greater clarity, self-understanding, and confidence in moving forward.

Life Transitions
Cicek Erdem
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, grief, excitement, relief, and loss—often all at once. Even changes we deeply want can leave us feeling untethered or unsure of who we are becoming. You may be navigating a breakup or divorce, career change, relocation, parenthood, infertility, an empty nest, shifting relationships, immigration, midlife questions, or uncertainty about what comes next. Transitions often stir old fears, longstanding patterns, and deeper questions about identity, belonging, meaning, and direction. Therapy can offer space to slow down, make sense of change, and move through transitions with greater clarity, intention, and self-understanding.

Life Transitions
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.

Life Transitions
Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Transitions destabilize identity, not just logistics. A new role, a move, a relationship change, or becoming a parent can leave you competent on paper and disoriented underneath. We work on tolerating the in-between period without rushing to resolve it, clarifying what you want the next chapter to be built around, and making decisions from values rather than from fear of getting it wrong.

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
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sometimes the life you've worked toward no longer feels the way you expected it to, or a major change leaves you unsure of who you are and what comes next. Marriage, parenthood, career changes, illness, caregiving, aging, and other transitions can unsettle familiar identities, relationships, and expectations, even when the change is wanted. I help clients make sense of the emotions that accompany these turning points, including grief for what is changing, uncertainty about what lies ahead, the discovery that old ways of living no longer fit, and the identification of the values you want to guide you moving forward. Therapy offers an opportunity not just to adjust to a new chapter, but to reconsider what matters to you and how you want to live it.
