Even positive changes can leave us feeling unsettled. Career changes, college, parenthood, relationship changes, loss, relocation, or entering a new stage of life can bring anxiety and uncertainty about what comes next. Therapy provides space to process the transition, understand what you need, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Karen Hammack
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life, for anyone, brings transition periods - new relationships, new to parenting, grief and loss, postpartum issues, career changes, empty nesting - we are often faced with periods that bring increased stress and/or sadness. Therapy can be a space to both process these changes, and find new meaning and rhythm to these changes.

Full Circle Mental Health LLC
Registered Social Worker, MSW, LISW
Major life transitions—even the positive ones—can completely disrupt your sense of normalcy, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and deeply disconnected from your usual grounding. Whether you are navigating a career pivot, stepping into a new phase of adulthood, adjusting to a post-divorce reality, or experiencing the intense friction of merging households, I provide a tailored, telehealth space across Ohio to help you anchor yourself amidst the chaos.
At Full Circle Mental Health LLC, I view life transitions through an integrative, systemic lens. Changes in one area of your life inevitably ripple out into your relationships, daily routines, and mental health. Grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed framework, I help individuals, couples, and blended families process the complex emotions that come with heavy adjustments:
• Managing Adjustment Anxiety: We draw from standard CBT and DBT skills to help you regulate your nervous system, quiet the voice of self-doubt, and build practical tools to handle daily uncertainty.
• Navigating Relational Changes: Utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Bowenian family systems to help you map out collective dynamics, establish healthy new boundaries, and manage the friction of shifting family structures.
• Action-Oriented Goal Clarification: Implementing Solution-Focused Therapy to help you tap into your innate resilience, clarify your current values, and take tangible, confident steps into your new chapter.
You do not have to navigate these shifting tides in isolation, and you do not need to have all the answers right away. Together, we will look at your big picture, honor your unique narrative, and co-create a personalized virtual roadmap that helps you find steady footing and step confidently into your future.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In my now 30 years in the field, I have helped clients navigate transitions including college, first jobs, marriage, parenthood, divorce, illness, aging, and grief following a death. My relational and IFS approaches help clients understand how changing roles and circumstances affect their identity, relationships, and sense of direction. I offer space to process loss, explore mixed feelings, and find meaningful next steps.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sometimes the life you've worked toward no longer feels the way you expected it to, or a major change leaves you unsure of who you are and what comes next. Marriage, parenthood, career changes, illness, caregiving, aging, and other transitions can unsettle familiar identities, relationships, and expectations, even when the change is wanted. I help clients make sense of the emotions that accompany these turning points, including grief for what is changing, uncertainty about what lies ahead, the discovery that old ways of living no longer fit, and the identification of the values you want to guide you moving forward. Therapy offers an opportunity not just to adjust to a new chapter, but to reconsider what matters to you and how you want to live it.
