Life Transitions
Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
ife transitions—such as career shifts, divorce, motherhood, or stepping into a new phase of independence—often bring underlying relationship patterns into sharper focus. During these times, you may begin to question dynamics you once tolerated, noticing how emotional manipulation, over-functioning, or self-doubt have shaped your choices. Our work centers on helping you navigate these transitions with clarity, so you can make decisions that reflect your needs rather than repeating patterns that no longer serve you.

Life Transitions
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re going through a major life transition, you may feel unsettled, uncertain, or overwhelmed—even if the change is something you chose. Whether it’s a career shift, retirement, relocation, relationship change, or another significant life event, transitions can disrupt your sense of stability and leave you questioning what comes next. It’s common to feel a mix of stress, self-doubt, and pressure to “figure it out” quickly.
I help clients navigate life transitions with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional stability. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and manage the thoughts that create anxiety, indecision, or self-doubt. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to reduce emotional overwhelm and help you adapt more effectively to change. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay grounded in your values, so your next steps reflect what truly matters to you—not just fear or uncertainty.
What’s often missing during transitions isn’t effort—you’re already trying to adjust and move forward. What’s missing is a structured way to process the change while also creating a clear direction for what’s next. Without that, it’s easy to feel stuck, second-guess yourself, or move forward without confidence.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to navigate this transition in a more intentional way. If you’re willing to approach this with clarity and support, I can help you move forward with greater confidence, reduce uncertainty, and create a next chapter that feels aligned with who you are and where you want to go.

Life Transitions
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.
