Life Transitions
Life is full of transitions—some planned, others unexpected. Whether you’re starting a new job, moving to a new city, ending a relationship, or entering a new phase of life, change can bring a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming, bringing grief for what was left behind and anxiety about what’s ahead. You don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy for life transitions provides the tools and emotional support to help you manage uncertainty, cope with stress, and embrace change with confidence. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, build resilience, and help you create a path forward that feels right for you.

"Working with Amanda Phillips has been life-changing. Her compassion, insight, and patience are apparent in every session. After years of working together, I can honestly say that Amanda is the best therapist I have ever had. She helps me feel in control of my neurodivergence, helps me find kindness for myself when I am struggling, and prepares me with tools to succeed outside of our sessions. I cannot recommend Amanda Phillips highly enough-- her practice has helped me build compassion for myself and find joy in doing the work of personal growth."
