Life Transitions
Hutch Wheless
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFTA
I help individuals navigate life transitions by providing structure, clarity, and support during times of change. Whether you're facing a career shift, relationship change, relocation, or another major adjustment, these periods can bring uncertainty, stress, and self-doubt. Together, we work to process what’s changing, identify what remains important to you, and develop a clear path forward. My approach focuses on helping you stay grounded, make intentional decisions, and move through transitions with greater confidence and direction.

Life Transitions
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Life transitions can place unexpected stress on even the strongest relationships. Changes such as marriage, parenthood, career shifts, relocation, grief, caregiving, retirement, or changes in identity and priorities can impact communication, emotional connection, and daily routines. Gottman Method couples therapy helps partners navigate these transitions together by actively guiding conversations into deeper understanding of each partner's dreams to create a shared dream and direction. Through evidence-based tools and guided conversations, couples learn how to manage stress more effectively, strengthen emotional intimacy, and adapt to change while staying connected as a team.
The most common life transition that I help couples navigate is the "empty nest." Many people find themselves lonely and resentful at this stage of life and come into therapy to find themselves, their partner, and a new dream of a life together.

Life Transitions
Open Hearted Holistic Therapy
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.

Life Transitions
Mary Jean Elder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, Ed. S, LCMHC
Life is full of trials and tribulations. At times it seems as we don't know how we are going to get through that moment or find ourselves in situations we never thought would happen or knew it would but didn't realize the impact it would have on us, divorce, children leaving home, career changes, etc. It is okay to seek out help in these moments to have an impartial sounding board or help you sort through the feelings surrounding the situation. Life is a bumpy ride and sometimes we need support.

Winston-Salem is home to Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist — one of the most significant academic medical centers in the Southeast — and this concentration of medical training and research deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of its mental health clinical community. The city's tobacco heritage — once the home of R.J. Reynolds — has given way to a growing medical, technology, and arts economy, and therapists frequently work with the identity transitions of a workforce navigating this shift. The city has a large Black community with deep historical roots in the Piedmont Triad, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and intergenerational resilience are well represented. Winston-Salem's arts and innovation culture supports strong demand for therapists experienced with creative identity and career-related stress.
