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.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Life transitions can place unexpected stress on even the strongest relationships. Changes such as marriage, parenthood, career shifts, relocation, grief, caregiving, retirement, or changes in identity and priorities can impact communication, emotional connection, and daily routines. Gottman Method couples therapy helps partners navigate these transitions together by actively guiding conversations into deeper understanding of each partner's dreams to create a shared dream and direction. Through evidence-based tools and guided conversations, couples learn how to manage stress more effectively, strengthen emotional intimacy, and adapt to change while staying connected as a team.
The most common life transition that I help couples navigate is the "empty nest." Many people find themselves lonely and resentful at this stage of life and come into therapy to find themselves, their partner, and a new dream of a life together.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients navigate major life and career transitions, including changes in work, relationships, family roles, identity, leadership responsibilities, and personal goals. Even positive transitions can bring stress, uncertainty, self-doubt, and pressure to make the right choice. In therapy, we work on clarifying what matters, managing anxiety, strengthening confidence, and building a realistic path forward. My goal is to help clients move through change with more clarity, stability, and trust in themselves.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Transitions can be difficult regardless of whether they are planned or unplanned, positive, or negative. Career changes, becoming a parent, health issues, a breakup, a move, a milestone birthday that hits harder than expected, caregiving stress, loss and grief - transitions can destabilize even people who are usually steady. I help clients make sense of what's shifting, grieve what's being left behind where needed, and move forward with more clarity about what they actually want next.

Rebecca Dudley
Psychologist, PhD
I provide a warm, personable, focused, and judgment-free space to work through presenting problems and find effective solutions. Each client has different needs, so I will meet you where you are, metaphorically, to help you feel and function better. I have a large "tool kit" of cognitive and behavioral tools to pull from so that we can collaboratively determine an individualized approach to treatment based on what we determine works best for you. I frequently work with young adults struggling with life transitions, and treatment often focuses on exploring and restructuring the root cause of difficulty with change and building autonomy to learn to manage transitions more effectively.
