Life Transitions
Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions—whether it’s starting college, changing careers, ending or beginning a relationship, or stepping into a new phase of life. Even positive change can feel overwhelming, bringing uncertainty, stress, or a sense of being ungrounded. Together, we focus on creating clarity, building resilience, and helping you stay connected to yourself as things shift around you. My approach combines practical tools with mind-body awareness, supporting you in moving through change with more confidence, stability, and intention.

Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Major life changes such as career shifts, relocation, relationship changes, or new responsibilities can create stress and emotional uncertainty.

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.
