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.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Major life changes such as career shifts, relocation, relationship changes, or new responsibilities can create stress and emotional uncertainty. I help individuals navigate these transitions by building coping strategies, clarifying goals, and strengthening emotional resilience. Support during these periods can help individuals adjust more confidently and maintain emotional balance.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions (even those that are wanted or carefully planned) can challenge our resilience and unsettle familiar roles, routines, relationships, identities, and expectations for the future. Transitions may involve beginning or ending a relationship, moving, pursuing an academic path, building a family, taking on caregiving responsibilities, coping with loss or changes in health, or entering a new stage of life. They can bring excitement and possibility alongside stress, uncertainty, grief, or a sense of feeling unmoored.
Therapy can provide support as you make sense of what is changing, adjust to new circumstances, process what you may be leaving behind, and consider what you want to carry forward. Our work may involve clarifying your needs and values, strengthening coping and decision-making skills, developing greater flexibility and self-compassion, and identifying realistic ways to move through the transition and into what comes next.

Christine Sparacino
Psychologist, PsyD
Life is full of transitions. Whether we are graduating from college, becoming a parent for the first time, getting married, entering midlife, we can count on transitions and that our identity will shift as our life does. Therapy can provide tremendous support as we move through a transition.

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.
