Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Life transitions can be a catalyst for new growth or can leave us stuck in paralysis while we grieve all we are leaving behind. The end of a marriage, losing ground in your career, moving from a familiar hometown can all leave us feeling untethered and unable to find our way. Even the most accomplished and confident person can find themselves at a loss when all the recognizable signposts have been moved. During our time together, we can identify both the sorrow in moving forward and the new opportunities that may present themselves in disguise!

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.

Major life changes — career shifts, relationship changes, loss, relocation, or entering a new chapter — can leave us feeling unmoored. Therapy offers a space to process, find clarity, and move forward with greater confidence and emotional steadiness.

Dr. Meghan Miller
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Major life transitions—career shifts, leadership changes, motherhood, relationship changes, relocation, or identity shifts—can stir up uncertainty, anxiety, and self-doubt, even when the change is positive. These moments often challenge how you see yourself and what you thought your life would look like. In therapy, I integrate CBT and values-based work to help you process the emotional impact of change, clarify what matters most in this season, and move forward with intention. Whether you’re stepping into a new role or reevaluating long-held expectations, our work will focus on helping you navigate change with greater clarity, resilience, and alignment.
