Life Transitions
Lee Scher
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
A loss, a diagnosis, a career change can leave you feeling unmoored. I offer a reflective space to move through transition with less fear, honoring both the grief of losing the life you had and the new possibilities that eventually emerge.

Life Transitions
Meghan Hanes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Major life changes—whether planned or unexpected—can bring uncertainty, stress, grief, and self-doubt. Whether you're navigating a career change, relationship shift, parenthood, recovery, or a new phase of life, therapy can provide support and guidance as you adjust and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Life Transitions
Elyse Gardner, MA, LPCA
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPCA
Whether it's a career shift, a relationship ending, a new stage of life, or an experience that reshaped how you see things, transitions ask your whole system to catch up with change. I help clients move through that disorientation with somatic awareness instead of white-knuckling their way to the other side, building a steadiness that holds even as things shift.

Wyatt Okeefe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LMHC, LPC, LPCC
I support clients facing significant changes and transitions in their lives, whether planned or unexpected. Therapy may address changes in relationships, career, family, identity, aging, loss, relocation, or other circumstances that can create uncertainty or emotional stress. Together, we work to process the changes, strengthen coping skills, clarify priorities, and develop a renewed sense of direction and confidence.

Life transitions can feel overwhelming and leave you feeling uncertain or out of control. Whether you’re navigating a career change, separation or divorce, parenting, or another major shift, I can help you make sense of what you’re experiencing.
Together, we’ll explore not just how to cope, but what’s underneath your reactions—identifying the patterns, emotions, and beliefs that surface during times of change. Alongside this deeper work, you’ll learn practical tools to feel more grounded and stable.

Life Transitions
Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Life transitions can leave you feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life you once knew. Whether you’re starting a new chapter, adjusting to a major change, navigating a relationship shift, becoming a parent, changing careers, moving, or redefining who you are, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Outpatient therapy provides a supportive space to process change, work through difficult emotions, clarify what matters most, and develop healthy ways to adapt. Together, we can build confidence, resilience, and practical coping strategies while helping you create a sense of stability and direction—even when life feels uncertain. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about having support while you find your way forward.

Life Transitions
Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Major life transitions can create uncertainty, emotional stress, and a loss of stability even when the changes themselves are positive or expected. Transitions related to career changes, relationships, marriage, parenthood, relocation, identity development, spiritual change, aging, or shifting life roles can leave people feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or uncertain about who they are and how to move forward.
Therapy can provide support and clarity during periods of transition by helping clients process difficult emotions, navigate uncertainty, strengthen coping skills, and better understand the deeper personal and relational themes emerging during times of change. My approach focuses on helping clients move through transitions with greater self-awareness, resilience, and intentionality.

Life Transitions
Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Working with clients during big life transitions is a particularly fruitful time. I bring in multiple approaches to help in transitions, including coping skills, insight-oriented work, steady support in our therapeutic relationship, and nervous system regulation techniques for stabilization. Life transitions can be wonderful opportunities for growth, even if they can be rocky in the process. I view myself somewhat as a midwife through the experience, helping guide you and encourage you as you birth into your next chapter.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
