Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I work with men and women going through major life changes on keeping it together, finding clarity, processing grief/loss and defining new goals. We use a variety of modalities to bring new truths to the surface and uncover powerful new discoveries about who we are and what we want out of life, along with what brings us the greatest feelings of reward, meaning and purpose. We use a variety of modalities for this, including pineal gland breathing, which is highly effective at changing chemical states from fear to joy in only a few minutes. Clients find this highly effective if they wake up in the morning dreading the day. With it, is a return to safety and hope is reborn.

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.

Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can bring a mix of stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist, I provide supportive, evidence‑based therapy to help individuals navigate major changes such as becoming a parent, shifting roles in relationships, career transitions, relocation, identity changes, or evolving family dynamics. Therapy offers a space to process complex emotions, strengthen coping skills, and regain a sense of stability and direction during periods of adjustment.

Changes such as divorce, loss of a loved one, career transitions, becoming a parent, children leaving home, or relocating can disrupt routines and relationships. Many people seek therapy during these periods as they work through decisions and adjust to a new stage of life.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating significant life transitions, including career changes, immigration, relocation, and shifts in professional or cultural identity. This includes civil servants and international staff at multilateral development organizations like the World Bank, IDB, and IMF, who are contending with chronic uncertainty, survivor exhaustion after rounds of layoffs, and what's clinically known as moral injury, the toll of watching an institution you built your identity around get dismantled. It also includes first-generation professionals adjusting to roles their families never occupied. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which gives us a clear, structured way to work through the disorientation transitions bring and rebuild a sense of direction. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.
