Guiding Growth.
Restoring Hope.
01
Starting college, leaving a career, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, moving across the state, caring for an aging parent, or retiring can all unsettle your sense of who you are. Some transitions are celebrated from the outside while feeling lonely or confusing on the inside.
Difficult life transitions are one of the top reasons people reach out to Guiding Hope, along with anxiety, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm.
02
People in transition often describe restlessness, grief for what they left behind, second-guessing, irritability, trouble sleeping, or a flat sense of not feeling like themselves. None of that means the change was a mistake. It usually means something important is shifting.
03
Therapy gives you room to name what you are losing as well as what you are gaining, clarify what matters to you now, and build practical routines that support you through the in-between.
Janell Goler describes her work as helping clients discover their strengths and move toward lasting change through challenges and transitions. Dr. Ashley Carroll-Brown's work focuses on helping people navigate life transitions with resilience and strength, and Ashley Gutierrez supports clients processing transitions and building resilience without fear of judgment.
04
The first step is a free consultation. It is a short conversation where you can say what is going on, ask how online sessions work, and hear which clinician may be the best fit. There is no obligation, and you do not need to have the right words ready.

You share a little about what is bringing you in, ask any practical questions, and talk through which clinician may fit. It is a conversation, not a commitment.
Please call 911 if you are in immediate danger, or call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Guiding Hope offers scheduled outpatient therapy and is not an emergency service.
A free consultation can help you ask questions, share what you are looking for, and consider whether one of our clinicians feels like a fit.
