Life Transitions
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.

Life Transitions
Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can bring a mix of stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist, I provide supportive, evidence‑based therapy to help individuals navigate major changes such as becoming a parent, shifting roles in relationships, career transitions, relocation, identity changes, or evolving family dynamics. Therapy offers a space to process complex emotions, strengthen coping skills, and regain a sense of stability and direction during periods of adjustment.

Life Transitions
Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Change is disorienting — even the changes we choose. Marriage, divorce, becoming a parent, losing a parent, changing careers, graduating, retiring, relocating — each of these asks you to redefine yourself in ways that take longer and feel harder than most people expect. I work with adults who are standing at these crossroads and need space to grieve what's behind them, make sense of what's happening now, and build clarity about who they're becoming. My approach is grounded in the understanding that transition isn't just logistical — it's an identity process, and it deserves to be treated that way.

Life Transitions
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Periods of life transition can leave even confident people feeling uncertain about what comes next. Changes in career, relationships, identity, or major life roles often bring both opportunity and emotional strain. In therapy, I help clients think clearly through transitions, process the stress of change, and move forward with greater confidence and stability.

Columbus is home to Ohio State University — one of the largest universities in the country — creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult identity, and sports psychology. The city's position as Ohio's state capital and a growing tech and healthcare hub has accelerated demographic change, with therapists increasingly addressing burnout and adjustment among a fast-growing professional population. OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Columbus also has one of the largest Somali communities in the United States, making culturally competent and multilingual therapists who specialize in refugee trauma and identity an important part of the local therapy landscape.
