Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Major life shifts—whether anticipated or unexpected, joyful or deeply difficult—can disrupt your sense of stability and leave you feeling unmoored. From career changes and retirement to relationship shifts, moving, or stepping into new phases of identity and aging, navigating the space between "what was" and "what's next" is rarely easy. Using a collaborative, evidence-based approach, we will work together to process the unknowns, honor the grief or growth that comes with change, and build practical strategies to help you navigate your new chapter with confidence and resilience.

Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Major changes—like starting a new career, moving to a new city, becoming a parent, or retiring—can be disorienting, even if they are positive. These transitions often involve a "middle ground" where the old way of living is gone, but the new way hasn't quite settled yet. We work through the stress and identity shifts that come with these milestones, helping you navigate the uncertainty with resilience and a clear sense of purpose.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Life transitions—even the positive ones—can pull us out of our comfort zone and trigger 'parts' of us that feel anxious, overwhelmed, or lost. Drawing on over 15 years of experience guiding individuals through major life shifts, I understand that change often ripples into our deepest insecurities.
Whether you are navigating a career move, a relocation, or a shift in your family dynamic, I provide a stabilizing space to help you find your footing. We work together to understand the 'survival strategies' that emerge during times of uncertainty, helping you move through the transition with clarity and a strengthened sense of self-worth. My goal is to help you transform a time of upheaval into an opportunity for genuine personal growth.
