Life Transitions
Shaelyn Cataldo
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Even desired life changes can bring uncertainty, overwhelm, and questions about who we are becoming. Therapy can help you navigate transitions with greater clarity, self-trust, and resilience.

Life Transitions
Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
Life transitions rarely feel the way they are supposed to. A promotion, a move, a wedding, a divorce, a child leaving home — each removes some of the structure you were using to know who you are, and the disorientation that follows is often out of proportion to how good or bad the change looks from outside. I work with life transitions as identity questions rather than logistics: what this change asks you to give up, what it makes newly possible, and what it has exposed that was already unstable. Ambivalence is welcome here. Most people arrive convinced they should have settled into it by now.

Life Transitions
Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
Life is a series of changes, so good, some bad. Resiliency and flexibility are critical tools to help us navigate through. Change your perspective to see all the options before you. I help people persevere through "adulting", getting the first professional job, relationships, marriage, divorce, grief and loss and any other life transition. Your role in the family, at work, relationships and life also may need to change to achieve the balance and support you deserve. "We train people how to treat us." Sometimes we need to also train ourselves to become what we should be.

Life Transitions
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been disrupted or reshaped in ways that ask real questions about who they are now. This might include graduating and stepping into adult life, feeling unsure about next steps in a demanding career, becoming a parent or adding a child, separation or divorce, major shifts in important relationships, retirement, moves that change your community, health changes, or later‑life questions about how you want to live the time ahead. Even wanted or carefully planned changes can feel disorienting. You might notice old patterns resurfacing, feel pulled between different parts of yourself, or find that what used to motivate you no longer does. People around you may expect you to be excited, grateful, or to “figure it out,” while inside you feel unsettled, numb, or unsure which way to go. In our work together, we focus on helping your nervous system and daily life stabilize enough to move through this transition, while also exploring the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and identity that it brings up. We pay attention to what is ending, what is beginning, and what feels most true for you now, so the change you are living through can become more grounded and more aligned with a life that actually fits you.

Life Transitions
Starlain Saldana
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Whether we actively seek a life transition or one happens to us outside our control, we will process the areas of loss and the difficulty these moments often bring to our lives. We will also look for space in these transitions that offer opportunities to re-evaluate the direction of our lives in order to build a life more aligned with our ultimate wants and hopes.

Providence is home to Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), and Providence College — together generating significant student mental health demand and a creative, intellectually engaged population that views therapy favorably and tends toward longer-term, exploratory work. The city has a large Cape Verdean and Latino community, with a significant Guatemalan and Dominican population that creates demand for culturally affirming, Spanish-speaking therapists who understand the particular dynamics of immigrant family life in New England. Rhode Island Hospital and the Brown University Health system provide institutional mental health resources, while Brown's Warren Alpert Medical School maintains important psychiatric training programs. Providence's arts and hospitality economy creates consistent demand for therapists experienced with creative identity, economic precarity, and the mental health challenges of artists and performers.
