Dr. Cierra Listermann
Psychologist, Ph.D., HSP-P
Major life transitions can bring up feelings of uncertainty, grief, fear, and questions about identity and purpose. For clients with a history of trauma, change can sometimes activate old fears, survival responses, or beliefs that make transitions feel especially overwhelming. I help clients process these changes, understand their reactions through a trauma-informed lens, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and connection to their values.

Change is hard. Even if it's an exciting transition, there is always something you're leaving behind. Whether it be an identity, vocational, relational, spiritual, or personal transition, I'm here to accompany you through the grief and into the exploration of who you are becoming as you step into this transition and beyond.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Transitions are hard! Period. And life is just filled with transitions. I try to honor all of these with compassion and curiosity. Whether it’s the transition from walking from the outside world into my office or it’s a transition like losing a job, starting college, divorce, or any other change that requires us to adapt, I want to honor that.

Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?
There’s no denying that life often presents us with our fair share of challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome any adversity but also transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted or expected, can influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our family and our communities.
Common Life Transitions
Some of the most common life transitions we help clients navigate are:
Moving away to college
Adjusting to university life or your first professional job
Getting married
Having a new baby
Parenting
Empty nesting syndrome
Breakup, separation or divorce
Retirement
Job loss or major change in career
Relocation
Financial gain/loss
Serious illness or disability
Issues pertaining to aging
Death of a loved one
Questioning the meaning of life
Questioning your faith/spirituality
Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. Dr. Nadel creates an environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance.

Greensboro is home to multiple universities — including the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, North Carolina A&T State University, and Guilford College — creating significant student mental health demand and a historically grounded HBCU community with deep connections to the civil rights movement. The city's textile and furniture manufacturing heritage has given way to healthcare, education, and distribution as primary economic drivers, and therapists frequently address occupational transitions and the identity challenges of a post-industrial workforce. Cone Health provides major institutional mental health resources, alongside a private practice community serving the Fisher Park and Irving Park neighborhoods. Greensboro's significant Vietnamese, Korean, and Latino communities drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
