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
Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions (even those that are wanted or carefully planned) can challenge our resilience and unsettle familiar roles, routines, relationships, identities, and expectations for the future. Transitions may involve beginning or ending a relationship, moving, pursuing an academic path, building a family, taking on caregiving responsibilities, coping with loss or changes in health, or entering a new stage of life. They can bring excitement and possibility alongside stress, uncertainty, grief, or a sense of feeling unmoored.
Therapy can provide support as you make sense of what is changing, adjust to new circumstances, process what you may be leaving behind, and consider what you want to carry forward. Our work may involve clarifying your needs and values, strengthening coping and decision-making skills, developing greater flexibility and self-compassion, and identifying realistic ways to move through the transition and into what comes next.

Life Transitions
Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Life transitions can be a catalyst for new growth or can leave us stuck in paralysis while we grieve all we are leaving behind. The end of a marriage, losing ground in your career, moving from a familiar hometown can all leave us feeling untethered and unable to find our way. Even the most accomplished and confident person can find themselves at a loss when all the recognizable signposts have been moved. During our time together, we can identify both the sorrow in moving forward and the new opportunities that may present themselves in disguise!

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.
