When life shifts
beneath your feet.
Burlington is Vermont's largest city and one of the most vibrant small cities in New England — home to UVM students, young professionals, established families, and people at every stage of life navigating change. And change, even when chosen, can be disorienting. Career pivots, relationship endings, moves, loss, new parenthood — transitions of all kinds deserve real support.

Stephanie Kimber, MA, LCMHC, brings over 20 years of experience helping people find solid ground during life's most uncertain chapters and move forward with clarity and intention.
Life Transitions Therapy:
Finding solid ground again.
A life transition is any significant change that disrupts your sense of identity, routine, or belonging — even positive ones. Starting a new job, ending a marriage, losing a parent, becoming a parent, relocating to a new city, retiring, or graduating into an uncertain world — transitions of all kinds can leave us feeling unmoored, even when we chose them.
Therapy during a transition isn't about fixing something broken. It's about having a skilled, steady presence beside you while you figure out who you are in this new chapter. Stephanie draws on narrative therapy, CBT, and ACT to help clients process the loss embedded in change, clarify their values and direction, and build a life that genuinely belongs to who they are becoming.
Burlington clients — whether navigating a UVM graduation, a career change, a relationship ending, or a move to or from Vermont — will find a warm, grounded space to do this work.

Vermont's most vibrant city —
with the outdoors at every turn.
Burlington sits on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain with the Green Mountains at its back — and it shows. This is a city that takes its outdoor life seriously, balancing a thriving arts and culture scene with some of the best trails, paddling, and natural beauty in the Northeast. Here are some of the best ways to explore it.
Burlington's crown jewel trail runs 14 miles along Lake Champlain with stunning water views — perfect for walking and cycling, with a seasonal bike ferry to South Hero Island. Managed by Local Motion.
Lake Champlain offers exceptional kayaking and canoeing from Burlington's waterfront — peaceful paddles with Adirondack views across the water. The Lake Champlain Committee is the best resource for access points.
Burlington's premier performing arts venue hosts Broadway tours, concerts, dance, and local productions year-round — a true anchor of Vermont's cultural life.
The University of Vermont's art museum houses an impressive permanent collection and rotating exhibitions — a quiet, inspiring space for a solo afternoon in Burlington.
A scenic riverside park and historic museum just north of downtown Burlington — 4+ miles of trails along the Winooski River, wildlife watching, and Vermont's only surviving Ethan Allen residence.
Burlington's parks department manages Leddy Park on Lake Champlain, Oakledge Park, and year-round programming including ice skating, outdoor recreation, and waterfront events for all ages.
