Life Transitions
Dr D Lee McGahey with Love One Another Community Development Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC, NCC
At LOACDC, we have therapists who specialize in a range of specialty areas, including but not limited to anger management, anxiety, career counseling, codependency, depression, relationship issues for couples, PTSD & gastric bypass evaluations.
Listen, life does not have to hurt ALL the time, & it is way too short to STAY unhappy & overwhelmed. You have the power to take back control of your life, job, family, & future. Rome, as great a city as it was in its prime, was not built in a day; it took time & a "plan." Together, we can develop a "plan" to get to the greatness inside you. Success is achievable; you just need the right coach.
Are you ready to live your BEST life? What does that look like for you? We have been through "hell and back," as they say. All that means is that we made it through some of the darkest, most challenging times in our lives. So, we can assure you, as long as you are breathing, there is hope for you, too.
Throughout our lives, we have walked through so many areas: addiction, anxiety, depression, esteem issues, grief and loss, gender identity, infidelity in relationships, parenting, self-doubt, and self-sabotage. It was not easy, but we did the work...one day at a time. So can you. Call or email us today so you can get the support you need to walk through this space, & let's get you to better days.

Life Transitions
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life transitions can shake your routines, relationships, and sense of direction, even when the change is positive. We can focus on coping and practical adjustment while also making room for the deeper questions that often come up during change. I help people clarify what matters now, make decisions with more confidence, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and meaningful.

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
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Periods of life transition can leave even confident people feeling uncertain about what comes next. Changes in career, relationships, identity, or major life roles often bring both opportunity and emotional strain. In therapy, I help clients think clearly through transitions, process the stress of change, and move forward with greater confidence and stability.
