Life Transitions
Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Life transitions can leave you feeling uncertain about who you are, where you are going, and what comes next. Whether you are experiencing a career change, divorce, becoming an empty nester, changes in your relationships, a shift in your family, or simply questioning what you want from this next chapter, transitions can bring both opportunity and emotional upheaval.
I work with individuals who are navigating significant life changes to help them understand what they are experiencing and find a way forward that feels authentic and meaningful. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that may be influencing how you respond to change—and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
My approach is integrative and solution-focused. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, narrative psychology, mindfulness, and strength-based techniques, we examine how your experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and the world around you. We can identify limiting beliefs, challenge self-doubt, and develop healthier ways of responding to uncertainty.
Transitions can also bring an opportunity to reconsider the story you have been telling yourself about who you are and what your life is supposed to look like. Therapy can help you separate yourself from the problem, reconnect with your strengths, and create a new narrative for the next portion of your life.
My goal is not simply to help you get through a transition. It is to help you understand yourself more deeply, make intentional choices, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Sometimes the life you imagined changes. Together, we can explore what is possible in the life that comes next.

Life Transitions
Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Life transitions—whether planned like moving or graduating, or unexpected like a job loss, divorce, or medical diagnosis—are structural shifts in your identity and routine. The discomfort isn't just about the change itself; it's about the uncomfortable "liminal space" where your old reality is gone and your new one hasn't fully formed yet.

Life Transitions
Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
Transitions can bring both possibility and uncertainty, even when the change is something you chose. Career changes, relationships, moves, graduations, shifts in identity, and other major life transitions can leave you questioning what you want and who you are becoming. Therapy can offer space to slow down, process what is changing, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
