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
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
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life transitions can bring up more than just stress. They often activate older patterns around control, uncertainty, or feeling unprepared. What looks like a normal change on the outside can feel much heavier underneath. In therapy, we look at how past experiences may be shaping your reaction now and help you move through change without feeling like everything is on edge.

Life Transitions
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Feeling like you always have to get everything “just right” can be exhausting. Perfectionism often leads to stress, procrastination, and fear of making mistakes, even when you’re capable and driven. My focus centers around teaching individuals how to manage high expectations, reduce self-criticism, and build confidence in their efforts, not just the outcome.

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.
