Life Transitions
Tacoma Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Some of life's hardest moments aren't crises — they're changes. A new job, a relationship ending, a move, a loss, becoming a parent, leaving a career, watching your kids grow up and out. Transitions that look like progress on the outside can feel disorienting, grieving, or completely unmooring on the inside.
That tension is real. And it deserves more than "this is a good thing, you should be grateful."
At TWC, we work with adults in the middle of change — helping them process what's being left behind, find footing in what's ahead, and understand who they are becoming in the space between. Transitions often surface older patterns and unresolved grief. We don't rush past that. We work with it.
If you're in a season of change and struggling to find solid ground, you don't have to navigate it alone.
If this resonates, we'd love to support you.

Life Transitions
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients navigate major life and career transitions, including changes in work, relationships, family roles, identity, leadership responsibilities, and personal goals. Even positive transitions can bring stress, uncertainty, self-doubt, and pressure to make the right choice. In therapy, we work on clarifying what matters, managing anxiety, strengthening confidence, and building a realistic path forward. My goal is to help clients move through change with more clarity, stability, and trust in themselves.

Life Transitions
Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Every major transition — a move, a loss, a new beginning, the end of something that defined you — strips away the structure you had been living inside without noticing. What remains can feel like nothing. That blankness is not emptiness. It is the space before the next thing, and it requires a particular kind of patience. Therapy during transition is not about figuring out the next step. It is about tolerating the interval long enough to discover what actually wants to emerge, rather than grabbing for the first thing that will make the uncertainty stop.

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.
