Life Transitions
Jessica Anderson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Feeling like you always have to get everything “just right” can be exhausting. Perfectionism often leads to stress, procrastination, and fear of making mistakes, even when you’re capable and driven. My focus centers around teaching individuals how to manage high expectations, reduce self-criticism, and build confidence in their efforts, not just the outcome.

Life Transitions
Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Life is full of changes, and even the ones we choose can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of who we are on the other side. At Alabaster Counseling, we specialize in helping girls and women navigate the many transitions that life brings, including becoming a mother, adjusting to an empty nest, going through a divorce, changing careers, losing a loved one, or simply stepping into a new season of life that feels unfamiliar. We understand that transitions can stir up grief, anxiety, and uncertainty even when they are positive, and we are here to help you process all of it. Through evidence-based therapy and genuine compassionate support, we help you find your footing, reconnect with your sense of purpose, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Life Transitions
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people whose lives have been disrupted or reshaped in ways that ask real questions about who they are now. This might include graduating and stepping into adult life, feeling unsure about next steps in a demanding career, becoming a parent or adding a child, separation or divorce, major shifts in important relationships, retirement, moves that change your community, health changes, or later‑life questions about how you want to live the time ahead. Even wanted or carefully planned changes can feel disorienting. You might notice old patterns resurfacing, feel pulled between different parts of yourself, or find that what used to motivate you no longer does. People around you may expect you to be excited, grateful, or to “figure it out,” while inside you feel unsettled, numb, or unsure which way to go. In our work together, we focus on helping your nervous system and daily life stabilize enough to move through this transition, while also exploring the deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and identity that it brings up. We pay attention to what is ending, what is beginning, and what feels most true for you now, so the change you are living through can become more grounded and more aligned with a life that actually fits you.
