If life offers any certainty, it is the certainty of transition.  Whether we are contending with the difficult loss of persons, places, projects or possessions we held dear, or are facing new challenges in our work or personal lives, we often benefit from an opportunity to reflect on who we have been, who we are, and who we are becoming.  As a setting for meaning-oriented psychotherapy and coaching, Transitions provides a space for engaging the difficult questions life often poses.  ​​

Psychologist Robert A. Neimeyer, PhD, and his associates subscribe to the philosophy that life challenges, even the most painful or uncertain, contain the seeds of new possibility, and that a serious engagement with them can open the door to a life of renewed purpose and pursuit of valued goals.  As a therapist specializing in the experience of loss and transition, Neimeyer attempts to listen between the lines of the stories that his clients tell themselves and others about their lives, and discern the threads that lead to a more livable and meaningful future.  And in their own specialized work with lawyers, judges, business leaders and others seeking to develop their unique strengths and foster community with others, his associates share this optimistic outlook.

Transitions:  

A Place for Healing, a Place for Growth

"It is only by risking ourselves from one hour to another that we live at all."  --William James

Robert Dove, LCSW, received his masters degree in social work at Smith College and trained at the Menninger Institute.  He worked for many years as the Director of the Student Counseling Center at Rhodes College, where he  provided therapy to students and their families contending with a large variety of life transitions.   At Rhodes and at the Crosstown Concourse, Rob also has conducted classes on mindful meditation, and has taught both individual and group therapy at the University of Tennessee Graduate School of Social Work.

Rob specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression, and grief.  He believes that it helps to have someone stand alongside us as we speak to and make sense of what we have lost.   He also works with individuals and families to address relationship issues, particularly the challenges that arise as young men or women negotiate the transition from being a teenager to being a young adult.  Rob  works with couples to address the disagreements, mistakes and frustration that are a part of any committed relationship between two good people.   He believes that love is worth fighting for, and that while love is necessary, it is not enough.  Good long-term relationships require an awful lot of work, by both parties, and there are no guarantees.

Rob works with survivors of sexual assault and other traumas.  He sees the work of therapy, in part, as a process by which survivors reclaim those aspects of themselves--the capacity to trust, confidence, the ability to feel calm or safe--that trauma often disrupts.

Rob believes that most of us want very much to invest our daily lives with meaning, to identify and give expression to our most deeply held values, and to do our imperfect best to live in accordance with those values.  It is a therapist's job to provide a place where people can engage in the struggles that are sometimes necessary if we are to live a mindful and deliberate life.
