Life Transitions
Sonia Hassan
Counselor/Therapist, LSWAIC
Major life changes can bring uncertainty, shifting responsibilities, and unexpected emotions, even when the change is something you've chosen. Whether you're navigating a career change, relationship transition, loss, or a new stage of life, I help clients process these experiences and adjust to changing circumstances. Our work focuses on finding stability, understanding your evolving needs, and making decisions that reflect what matters most to you.

Life Transitions
Kody Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Major changes can affect more than the part of life that is changing. Career shifts, changes in relationships, parenting, separation, loss, or entering a new stage of life can leave you questioning what comes next. Therapy can help you make sense of the transition, understand how it is affecting you and your relationships, and clarify what you want moving forward. My approach combines thoughtful exploration with practical support to help you navigate change with greater confidence and intention.

Life Transitions
Gary Ashley
Therapist, LMHCA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
Major changes can leave you questioning routines, relationships, identity, or what you want next. I work with clients during transitions such as career changes, relationship shifts, moves, loss, or new stages of adulthood. Our work may focus on sorting through what has changed, noticing what no longer fits, and making decisions with more clarity instead of reacting from pressure or uncertainty.

Life Transitions
Doria McGahey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
We all go through a number of transitions in life and sometimes you need support in navigating the hard stuff. Often our identity is tied to different roles in life like: career, parent, child, sibling, partner, athlete, caregiver, etc and when things shift in our lives it can cause a lot of distress and leave you feeling disoriented. Questions like, who am I now that my kids are grown up? or in menopause or aging? or I'm retired? or single? You may find that you are experiencing anxiety, depression, existential questions, fear, or even self-esteem issues. I focus on this area because I know how important it is to have someone help you explore and move through these changes feeling open, empowered, and engaged rather than from a. place of fear.

Life Transitions
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Life transitions can bring both change and uncertainty, even when they are chosen or positive on the surface. Shifts such as career changes, relationship endings or beginnings, relocation, identity exploration, health changes, or emerging creative directions often stir deeper questions about who you are and how you want to live.
During these periods, it is common to feel ungrounded, emotionally activated, or disconnected from your usual sense of self. Even meaningful transitions can bring grief, anxiety, confusion, or a sense of being “in-between” identities or life chapters.
In therapy, we slow down and make space for the emotional and embodied experience of change. From a psychodynamic perspective, we explore how past transitions and attachment experiences may be shaping your current response to uncertainty, loss, or new beginnings.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we also listen to the “felt sense” of transition — the often wordless, body-based experience of not yet knowing what comes next. This helps bring clarity and grounding from within, rather than forcing quick decisions or external answers.
Rather than rushing toward resolution, this work supports you in staying present with the threshold space of change. This can include processing grief for what is ending, making room for ambiguity, and gently sensing into what is emerging.
As nervous system regulation increases and inner clarity strengthens, many clients find they are able to move through transitions with more trust, steadiness, and self-compassion — even when the path ahead is not fully defined.
This approach is especially supportive for creatives, highly sensitive individuals, and those navigating identity shifts or life reinvention who want to move through change in a way that feels grounded, intentional, and internally guided.

In my now 30 years in the field, I have helped clients navigate transitions including college, first jobs, marriage, parenthood, divorce, illness, aging, and grief following a death.

Nicole Wilkerson
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LMHCA
Even a change you chose can leave you grieving what is familiar or wondering who you are becoming. I support teens ages 13+ and adults through changes in school, work, relationships, family roles, and other parts of life. Together, we can make room for mixed emotions, clarify your values, and identify practical steps that fit the situation you are navigating.
