Life Transitions
Abby Leefer, LCSW-R - Perspectives Counseling of LI
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Life transitions, whether expected or unexpected, can bring uncertainty, stress, and emotional adjustment. Changes such as career shifts, relationship changes, relocation, or new life roles can feel overwhelming to navigate alone. Our therapists provide a supportive space to process these changes and better understand your emotional responses. Together, we work to build coping strategies, increase clarity, and help you move through transitions with greater confidence and resilience.

Life Transitions
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.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Periods of change—even positive ones—can bring uncertainty, anxiety, or a sense of losing your footing. Therapy focuses on helping you make sense of what’s shifting, stay grounded through the transition, and move forward in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.
