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
Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life transitions can shake your routines, relationships, and sense of direction, even when the change is positive. We can focus on coping and practical adjustment while also making room for the deeper questions that often come up during change. I help people clarify what matters now, make decisions with more confidence, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and meaningful.

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.
