Being a young adult is an exciting time that can be filled with possibilities for adventure, growth and exploration. At the same time, it can bring a sense of confusion and feeling overwhelmed about who you are, what you want and how to get there. Maybe there are obstacles, new or old, that get in the way of making progress. 

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), young adults today face more stress than any other previous generation. Your concerns are unique from those of your parents, making a tailored, custom approach to therapy most beneficial. I provide such an approach.

Our work together allows us to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a way that will help uncover their origin and identify areas that may contribute to them. This in turn, allows you to gain insight and confidence to make the best decisions, plan for change, develop skills to endure uncomfortable feelings, learn to trust yourself and build life skills.

Young adulthood is the perfect time to discover new strategies to better manage your life so that you can become your best self and have the future that you want. 

Together we can explore:
  • Which path you want to pursue versus that of your family, friends, and society
  • Education and career options
  • How to make the best decisions for yourself 
  • Your short- and long-term financial goals as you move towards being self-supporting
  • New ways to promote learning, self-efficacy, self-reliance, confidence and resiliency
  • Separating from your family of origin and living independently while maintaining connection
  • Intimacy and relationships
  • Effectively managing and overcoming anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms

WHEN TO SEEK SPECIALIZED THERAPY

It's never too late or too early to begin therapy. You may have been feeling discomfort or unease for months—or even years—but are now recognizing the need for action.

Perhaps you've come to the conclusion that if you don't begin making changes soon, things will simply stay the same or become worse.  If this sounds like you, let's start to create your specialized therapy plan together.

Let me share with you some questions and answers that can help you gain focus as to your needs and goals when seeking therapy.  If any of the scenarios below describe how you're feeling, or if you're experiencing other issues and want to learn how therapy can help, please call me today so we can talk further:
  • Are you feeling overwhelmed with so many different choices in front of you about your education, career, finances, living situation—life in general?

    Feeling overwhelmed can lead to anxiety, even depression, if it's not addressed and managed properly. These unwanted feelings can create obstacles and delays which interfere with reaching your goals. The process of change is made up of a number of small steps and I can help you identify and refine the steps that you need to make in order to experience true change and goal achievement.

  • Do you feel that you're just going around in circles, never reaching a resolution?

    Change actually takes place in a very circutous manner; it's very rarely linear, so the process can feel as if it's moving, but without reaching a solution. In reality stages of change are necessary as they prepare you for greater success in achieving your goals.  I walk you through the change process so you can feel the joy of moving forward.

  • Do you feel stressed at always being "connected"?

    Each generation, like every person, has a distinct personality.  As a young adult, you're part of a unique generation in that you're the first who is truly connected to such a social extent.  While we all crave connection, social media can have unintentional consequences such as being left feeling empty, lonely, isolated and unincluded. At the same time, it can make you feel obligated, stressed and overwhelmed while lowering self-esteem and confidence. Therapy can help you share your most intimate thoughts and feelings in an accepting environment so you can learn how to manage being "connected" via electronics and social media.
