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.

While change can be scary, it is also exciting and filled with hope! My goal is to help you see the possibilities that are present in the midst of change, even when it is unexpected (or unwanted). Because with an attitude of faith, all things are possible ...

Life Transitions
Madison Zimbal
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-IT
Life transitions can feel unsettling even when they are expected. Changes such as starting or ending relationships, graduating, beginning a new job, adjusting to family shifts, or moving into new stages of life can bring uncertainty, self-doubt, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. I provide a supportive space for those navigating seasons of change and trying to find stability in the midst of it. During transitions, it is common to feel “in between”, no longer where you were, but not yet sure of where you are going. In therapy, we work to slow that process down and make sense of what is changing emotionally, mentally, and relationally. This often includes exploring identity, expectations, fears, and the pressure to have everything figured out. My approach is compassionate and practical. I help clients build grounding skills for managing anxiety and emotional stress while also exploring the deeper meaning of the transition they are experiencing. This combination allows for both immediate support and long-term growth. For clients who desire it, Christian counseling can also be incorporated to support hope, direction, and spiritual grounding during uncertain seasons. Faith can become a source of stability and reassurance as clients navigate change. My goal is to help clients feel more anchored and confident as they move through life’s transitions, trusting that even uncomfortable change can lead to growth, clarity, and new beginnings.

James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
There are crisis points in everyone's life in which basic structures and relationships shift or collapse and a person faces overwhelming change. I like the notion of "Chrysalis Crisis" -- the idea such times of unwished-for change hold the promise of profound personal growth. I try to help a person find these seeds of growth, and provide a sustaining therapeutic relationship in which he or she can develop them.
