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. Shannon Coleman
Psychologist, PhD
Major life changes can bring both opportunity and uncertainty, whether you are starting a new chapter, changing careers, adjusting to an empty nest, or navigating other unexpected circumstances. Therapy can help you process the changes, clarify what matters to you, and determine how you want to move forward.

Reiss Psychology Services, PLLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Life transitions — whether it's a family move, parents' divorce, changing schools, a new sibling, or the shift into adolescence — can be some of the most destabilizing experiences for young people, even when the change itself is positive. Some tools that help with life transitions include psychoeducation about the transition process, emotion regulation and grounding skills, cognitive reframing, and identity and narrative work,

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.

Molly Toomey
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in supporting folks through big life transitions. Whether you're an immigrant or expat adjusting to life in a new country, a queer or trans person coming out of the closet, or a late-diagnosed neurodivergent person, life transitions can shake up your sense of identity and community. As an experienced therapist, social worker, and immigrant and "out" person myself, I offer you a space to grapple with all the highs and lows of big life changes, and to gain the skills, insight, and confidence to move through them successfully.
