Finding Healing in a Space That Gets You

Life transitions therapy is support for the in-between seasons — the moments when something has ended, shifted, or begun, and you’re not quite sure who you are in it yet. Maybe you moved to a new city, started or lost a job, ended a relationship, became a parent, sent your child to college, retired, or simply woke up feeling like your old life doesn’t fit anymore.

Even positive changes can feel destabilizing. You can be grateful and overwhelmed at the same time. Life transitions therapy gives you space to process the uncertainty, grief, pressure, or identity shifts that come with change. It helps you slow down long enough to ask, “Who am I now?” — and begin answering that question with intention instead of panic.

If you feel unsteady, untethered, or unsure of your next steps, this work is for you.

A Space to Unpack What Doesn’t Serve You

Change has a way of surfacing everything — old insecurities, unresolved grief, family expectations, self-doubt. Life transitions therapy helps you make sense of what’s coming up instead of pushing through it alone.

The benefits often include feeling more grounded during uncertainty, clearer about your values and direction, and less reactive to stress. Therapy can help you separate external pressure from your own desires, so the next chapter of your life feels chosen — not forced.

You don’t have to have all the answers right now. Therapy can help you tolerate the unknown long enough to find them.

You Are Not Alone. Your Life Story Is Still Being Written.

We Accept Some Insurance:

The practice is in-network with some plans from Aetna, Meritain, Highmark, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Anthem, Quest Behavioral Health, and Federal Employee Program. 

If you are unsure if we are an in-network provider for your plan, feel free to contact us for more information. We offer the courtesy of assisting all potential clients with mental health benefits verification for insurances that we accept. This is because we understand how difficult it is to find a therapist who accepts insurance, and figure out the cost of therapy using insurance benefits on your specific plan.

We also recommend that you check with your health insurance provider to confirm if we are in-network with your insurance and to verify the mental health benefits on your specific insurance plan. 

For insurance plans that we are not in network with, we can offer you a Superbill at the end of an appointment for you to submit for any out of network benefits you may have.
