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
Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Some changes are chosen. Some aren't. Either way, transitions have a way of shaking loose everything you thought you knew about yourself and your life. Whether you're navigating a career shift, the end of a relationship, a move, a new role, or just that quiet sense that you've outgrown something, therapy can help you find your footing and move forward with more clarity and intention.

Life Transitions
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.

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.

Karen Bisignano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When so many things happen at the same time including a new job, or move or children going off to college, or getting older and friends moving or dying, it can be difficult to handle these changes. I will sit with you, acknowledge you and help you find the skills you need to move through the challenges of life changing.

Kiona Edwards
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LCAT, ATR-BC
Transitions—whether chosen or unexpected—can bring up uncertainty, self-doubt, and a sense of losing your footing. I support clients in making sense of these in-between spaces, helping you process what’s shifting while also reconnecting with what feels steady within you. Together, we work toward navigating change with greater clarity, intention, and self-trust.

New York City has the largest and most diverse therapy community in the world, with practitioners representing virtually every therapeutic modality, cultural background, and specialty area. The city's pace, density, and cost of living generate pervasive anxiety and burnout, while its diverse boroughs mean therapists fluent in dozens of languages serve communities from every corner of the globe. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone Health, and Weill Cornell Medicine anchor an extensive academic mental health infrastructure, supplemented by thousands of independent practitioners across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. New York's therapy culture is deeply embedded — many residents maintain years-long therapeutic relationships and consider finding the right therapist one of the more important decisions they make.
