Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions can bring a mixture of excitement, uncertainty, grief, and possibility. Whether you are navigating a new chapter in your career, a change in relationships, parenthood, divorce, an empty nest, or another significant shift, even positive changes can leave you feeling unmoored or unsure of who you are becoming. My approach is grounded in compassion, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy, helping you make space for the emotions that arise without judging or rushing through them. Together, we explore the beliefs, expectations, and patterns that may no longer serve you while reconnecting with your values and the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked along the way. I believe transitions can be an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and approach yourself with greater curiosity and kindness. Therapy can provide a supportive space to process what you are leaving behind, make sense of where you are today, and move forward with greater clarity, self-trust, and intention.

Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Big changes: a new career, an empty nest, retirement, loss, a move, a body that won't do what it used to can leave even grounded people feeling unmoored. Transitions ask us to let go of one version of ourselves before the next has arrived. I help you navigate that in-between with clarity and self-compassion, so you come out the other side steadier, and more yourself, than when you went in.

Life Transitions: Navigating the "Space Between"
Finding Your Grounding When the Map Changes
Life is a series of arrivals and departures. Whether you are navigating a chosen change—like a new career or marriage—or an uninvited upheaval—like a health diagnosis or the "empty nest"—the transition itself can trigger a profound sense of overwhelm, loss of identity, and systemic burnout. In my practice, I help you navigate the "liminal space" between what was and what will be, ensuring you don't just "get through it," but grow through it.
The Anatomy of Change
Major shifts often disrupt our internal and external systems. We work together to address the "growing pains" of life’s major chapters:
The Identity Crisis: Answering the question, "Who am I now?" when your role as a parent, spouse, professional, or "healer" changes.
The "What-Now" Anxiety: Managing the fear and rejection sensitivity that often accompany career pivots, moves, or retirement.
Spiritual & Existential Shifts: Using my Master of Divinity to hold space for the "spiritual deconstruction" or re-evaluating of life’s meaning that often occurs during mid-life or major loss.
A Systems-Rooted Clinical Approach
With over 20 years of experience, I use an integrated framework to help you stabilize your system:
Attachment & Safety: We explore how your past experiences with change influence your current "threat response." We work to build an internal sense of safety that doesn't depend on external circumstances.
Grief & Honor: Every new beginning requires an ending. We use IFS-informed work to honor the "part" of you that is grieving the past, allowing you to move forward without the weight of unprocessed loss.
Practical Resilience: We look at your "system"—your nutrition, your movement, and your social support—to ensure your body is supported as much as your mind during the stress of transition.
For the Leaders & Healers in Flux
I have a specialized focus on therapists and pastors navigating significant life pivots. When you are the one everyone looks to for stability, having your own "system" in flux can feel uniquely isolating. I provide a confidential, courageous space where you can lay down the weight of leadership and find your own path forward.
