Life Transitions
Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
From teens to adult; university to full time work; married to single; single to married; moved to a new place; want to move to a new place; change in income or work; adult to an older adult; loss of a parent; care of a senior aging parent -- there are many life transitions. And while they may be exciting, they may also bring up sadness or anxiety. We will talk about what's happening, and go from there.

Life Transitions
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a death, divorce or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through and past the emotional turmoil? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track?
There’s no denying that life often presents us with our fair share of challenges, usually in the form of sudden change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome any adversity but also transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted or expected, can influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our family and our communities.
Common Life Transitions
Some of the most common life transitions we help clients navigate are:
Moving away to college
Adjusting to university life or your first professional job
Getting married
Having a new baby
Parenting
Empty nesting syndrome
Breakup, separation or divorce
Retirement
Job loss or major change in career
Relocation
Financial gain/loss
Serious illness or disability
Issues pertaining to aging
Death of a loved one
Questioning the meaning of life
Questioning your faith/spirituality
Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. Dr. Nadel creates an environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance.

Life Transitions
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Every major transition — a move, a loss, a new beginning, the end of something that defined you — strips away the structure you had been living inside without noticing. What remains can feel like nothing. That blankness is not emptiness. It is the space before the next thing, and it requires a particular kind of patience. Therapy during transition is not about figuring out the next step. It is about tolerating the interval long enough to discover what actually wants to emerge, rather than grabbing for the first thing that will make the uncertainty stop.

Sherry Shields
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, ACS, CCTP-II, CCATP, EMDRIA Certified Therapist
Changes in relationships, roles, work, or health can bring uncertainty and difficult emotions. Therapy offers time to process those changes, clarify what matters to you, and develop workable next steps. We can explore how to adjust while honoring both what you have lost and what you hope to build.
