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.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Sometimes the life you've worked toward no longer feels the way you expected it to, or a major change leaves you unsure of who you are and what comes next. Marriage, parenthood, career changes, illness, caregiving, aging, and other transitions can unsettle familiar identities, relationships, and expectations, even when the change is wanted. I help clients make sense of the emotions that accompany these turning points, including grief for what is changing, uncertainty about what lies ahead, the discovery that old ways of living no longer fit, and the identification of the values you want to guide you moving forward. Therapy offers an opportunity not just to adjust to a new chapter, but to reconsider what matters to you and how you want to live it.

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.

Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults navigate life transitions with greater confidence, resilience, and clarity. Major changes such as career shifts, relationship changes, marriage, divorce, parenthood, infertility, relocation, retirement, health concerns, and other significant life events can bring uncertainty, stress, and emotional challenges. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies, I help clients adapt to change, manage anxiety and self-doubt, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with their values and goals. My goal is to help clients successfully navigate life's transitions while building a meaningful and fulfilling future.
