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 These outdated or stuck narratives can quietly influence the choices we make and how we see ourselves.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

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
I help clients navigate major life transitions such as relationship changes, career shifts, relocation, or evolving identity and life roles. Together, we work through the uncertainty that often comes with change, process the emotions that arise, and build practical tools for staying grounded during periods of instability. My approach is supportive and collaborative, helping you make sense of where you are while identifying what you need to feel more steady and supported moving forward. The focus is on strengthening resilience, increasing clarity, and helping you move through transitions with greater confidence and self-trust. If you’re going through a major change and looking for support, I invite you to reach out or explore my profile to learn more.

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.

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.
