Life Transitions
MELISSA LACOUR, LPC
Change is hard. You don't have to navigate it alone.
Does this sound familiar?
A major life change has left you feeling lost or unlike yourself
You're grieving a loss — a person, a relationship, or a version of your life
A career shift has shaken your sense of identity and purpose
You've entered a new chapter and it's more complicated than you expected
You feel stuck between who you were and who you're becoming
You're going through something that others around you don't seem to understand
Life transitions (even the ones we choose) can be disorienting, grief-filled, and deeply lonely. The ground shifting beneath you doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It means you're human.
It's possible to move through change without losing yourself in the process. Therapy gives you the space to grieve what's behind you, get clear on what's ahead, and show up fully for the life you're building.
Things can be different than they are today.
“Who you are on the other side of transition is till you — just more fully known.”
Melissa brings both clinical expertise and personal lived experience — career change, marriage, loss, and her own adoption story — to her work with clients navigating life's most defining moments.
A therapist who understands.
I'm adopted. I've changed careers. I've experienced marriage and loss. I don't bring my story into the room to make it about me, but I do bring genuine understanding of what it feels like to stand at a crossroads and not know which way to go.
My approach is warm, personalized, and grounded. You won't get a generic roadmap here. You'll get a therapist who actually listens and walks alongside you.
Areas of Focus:
-
Relationship Transitions
Marriage, divorce, breakups — navigating who you are when a relationship changes everything.
-
Grief & Loss
Losing someone or something you love. Therapy offers space to grieve without a timeline.
-
Career & Identity Shifts
Changing careers, retiring, or questioning your purpose — these shifts go deeper than a job title.
-
Family Changes
Becoming a parent, empty nest, blending families — even the transitions we want carry emotional weight.
-
Young Adult Transitions
Moving into adulthood, figuring out who you are, and building a life that feels like yours.
-
Identity & Belonging
When life changes make you question where — or to whom — you belong. Finding yourself again.
Know yourself. Show up fully.
