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—whether it’s marriage, divorce, career changes, parenthood, relocation, or grief—can bring both opportunity and uncertainty. These periods often stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm. In therapy, we provide a safe and supportive space to process these changes, explore your emotions, and clarify your values and goals. Together, we develop practical coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and foster emotional and spiritual growth. With Christ-centered guidance, clients are empowered to navigate life’s transitions with confidence, clarity, and hope.

Life Transitions
Louis Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, whether anticipated or unexpected, can disrupt our sense of identity, stability, purpose, and connection with others. Changes in relationships, careers, family roles, health, or life circumstances may bring opportunities for growth alongside feelings of uncertainty, grief, anxiety, or loss. I work with individuals to navigate these transitions with greater awareness, self-compassion, and intentionality. Rather than focusing solely on adjusting to change, we explore how these experiences relate to personal values, identity, relationships, and meaning. Together, we work toward embracing new possibilities, developing greater resilience, and finding ways to move forward with authenticity, purpose, and a renewed sense of direction.

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.
