Life Transitions
Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sometimes the life you've worked toward no longer feels the way you expected it to, or a major change leaves you unsure of who you are and what comes next. Marriage, parenthood, career changes, illness, caregiving, aging, and other transitions can unsettle familiar identities, relationships, and expectations, even when the change is wanted. I help clients make sense of the emotions that accompany these turning points, including grief for what is changing, uncertainty about what lies ahead, the discovery that old ways of living no longer fit, and the identification of the values you want to guide you moving forward. Therapy offers an opportunity not just to adjust to a new chapter, but to reconsider what matters to you and how you want to live it.

Life Transitions
Denise Jones
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, LCSW-C
Helping someone through a life transition is such highly individualized work that it can't be adequately addressed here. Transitions come at different times and revolve around different things for each client who comes in. For example, therapy for an overly anxious new mother will be radically different than for a senior whose spouse of 60 years has recently died. EMDR is a relational therapy, which makes it flexible enough to meet people where they are regardless of the life transition they're experiencing.

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.

Life Transitions
Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions (even those that are wanted or carefully planned) can challenge our resilience and unsettle familiar roles, routines, relationships, identities, and expectations for the future. Transitions may involve beginning or ending a relationship, moving, pursuing an academic path, building a family, taking on caregiving responsibilities, coping with loss or changes in health, or entering a new stage of life. They can bring excitement and possibility alongside stress, uncertainty, grief, or a sense of feeling unmoored.
Therapy can provide support as you make sense of what is changing, adjust to new circumstances, process what you may be leaving behind, and consider what you want to carry forward. Our work may involve clarifying your needs and values, strengthening coping and decision-making skills, developing greater flexibility and self-compassion, and identifying realistic ways to move through the transition and into what comes next.
