Life Transitions
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Feeling like you always have to get everything “just right” can be exhausting. Perfectionism often leads to stress, procrastination, and fear of making mistakes, even when you’re capable and driven. My focus centers around teaching individuals how to manage high expectations, reduce self-criticism, and build confidence in their efforts, not just the outcome.

Life Transitions: Navigating the "Space Between"
Finding Your Grounding When the Map Changes
Life is a series of arrivals and departures. Whether you are navigating a chosen change—like a new career or marriage—or an uninvited upheaval—like a health diagnosis or the "empty nest"—the transition itself can trigger a profound sense of overwhelm, loss of identity, and systemic burnout. In my practice, I help you navigate the "liminal space" between what was and what will be, ensuring you don't just "get through it," but grow through it.
The Anatomy of Change
Major shifts often disrupt our internal and external systems. We work together to address the "growing pains" of life’s major chapters:
The Identity Crisis: Answering the question, "Who am I now?" when your role as a parent, spouse, professional, or "healer" changes.
The "What-Now" Anxiety: Managing the fear and rejection sensitivity that often accompany career pivots, moves, or retirement.
Spiritual & Existential Shifts: Using my Master of Divinity to hold space for the "spiritual deconstruction" or re-evaluating of life’s meaning that often occurs during mid-life or major loss.
A Systems-Rooted Clinical Approach
With over 20 years of experience, I use an integrated framework to help you stabilize your system:
Attachment & Safety: We explore how your past experiences with change influence your current "threat response." We work to build an internal sense of safety that doesn't depend on external circumstances.
Grief & Honor: Every new beginning requires an ending. We use IFS-informed work to honor the "part" of you that is grieving the past, allowing you to move forward without the weight of unprocessed loss.
Practical Resilience: We look at your "system"—your nutrition, your movement, and your social support—to ensure your body is supported as much as your mind during the stress of transition.
For the Leaders & Healers in Flux
I have a specialized focus on therapists and pastors navigating significant life pivots. When you are the one everyone looks to for stability, having your own "system" in flux can feel uniquely isolating. I provide a confidential, courageous space where you can lay down the weight of leadership and find your own path forward.

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.
