Life Transitions
Amy Holder
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CIMPH
Major life changes can feel overwhelming, even when they are positive. I help clients navigate transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and self-trust as they adjust to new roles, identities, and possibilities.

Life Transitions
Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
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.

Life Transitions
Heather Watson-Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I support individuals navigating life transitions such as career changes, relationship shifts, parenthood, or major life decisions. These periods can bring uncertainty, stress, or a loss of direction, and therapy provides a space to process and regain clarity. I help clients build resilience, confidence, and a sense of purpose as they move forward.

Life Transitions
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating significant life transitions, including career changes, immigration, relocation, and shifts in professional or cultural identity. This includes civil servants and international staff at multilateral development organizations like the World Bank, IDB, and IMF, who are contending with chronic uncertainty, survivor exhaustion after rounds of layoffs, and what's clinically known as moral injury, the toll of watching an institution you built your identity around get dismantled. It also includes first-generation professionals adjusting to roles their families never occupied. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which gives us a clear, structured way to work through the disorientation transitions bring and rebuild a sense of direction. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Life Transitions
Tatiana Turo-Handy, PsyD., PMH-C
Psychologist, PsyD. PMH-C
Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can bring a mix of stress, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm. As a bilingual (Spanish/English) psychologist, I provide supportive, evidence‑based therapy to help individuals navigate major changes such as becoming a parent, shifting roles in relationships, career transitions, relocation, identity changes, or evolving family dynamics. Therapy offers a space to process complex emotions, strengthen coping skills, and regain a sense of stability and direction during periods of adjustment.

Milwaukee is one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States, and the mental health effects of systemic inequality, concentrated poverty, and community violence disproportionately affect its Black residents — driving demand for culturally affirming and trauma-informed therapists. The city has a strong Polish, German, and working-class heritage in many of its neighborhoods, and therapists frequently address intergenerational family dynamics, addiction, and depression tied to economic stress. Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin provide major institutional mental health resources alongside community-based providers. Milwaukee's proximity to Chicago means some residents also access care in the broader metro corridor.
