Life Transitions
Claire Yamashita
Pre-Licensed Professional, MSW, LICSWA
Life transitions can be scary. Change can be scary. But it does not have to be. Graduating school, changing careers, starting a family, or a change in relationship status can be an opportunity to grow and try new things, or a chance for our fears to get the best of us. We decide how we respond to any given situation. Change is inevitable, and it is up to us to fight it or flow with it.

Life Transitions
Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Major life changes can bring excitement, grief, uncertainty, or all three at once. Starting or ending a relationship, moving, changing careers, becoming a parent, graduating, relocating, or entering a new stage of adulthood can disrupt your sense of identity and leave you wondering what comes next.
Therapy can give you space to process what you are leaving behind while helping you adjust to what is ahead. Together, we can work through difficult emotions, clarify your priorities, and identify the choices that feel most consistent with the life you want to build.
My goal is to help you move through change with greater confidence, flexibility, and self-understanding, so that a period of uncertainty can also become an opportunity for meaningful growth.

Life Transitions
Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Life transitions can leave you feeling uncertain about who you are, where you are going, and what comes next. Whether you are experiencing a career change, divorce, becoming an empty nester, changes in your relationships, a shift in your family, or simply questioning what you want from this next chapter, transitions can bring both opportunity and emotional upheaval.
I work with individuals who are navigating significant life changes to help them understand what they are experiencing and find a way forward that feels authentic and meaningful. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that may be influencing how you respond to change—and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
My approach is integrative and solution-focused. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, narrative psychology, mindfulness, and strength-based techniques, we examine how your experiences have shaped the way you see yourself and the world around you. We can identify limiting beliefs, challenge self-doubt, and develop healthier ways of responding to uncertainty.
Transitions can also bring an opportunity to reconsider the story you have been telling yourself about who you are and what your life is supposed to look like. Therapy can help you separate yourself from the problem, reconnect with your strengths, and create a new narrative for the next portion of your life.
My goal is not simply to help you get through a transition. It is to help you understand yourself more deeply, make intentional choices, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.
Sometimes the life you imagined changes. Together, we can explore what is possible in the life that comes next.
