Young Adults

General Mental Health for Young Adults

​

Young adulthood is a pivotal time marked by significant changes, exploration, and self-discovery. Therapy provides a confidential and supportive space for young adults to explore their emotions, understand their identity, and address a variety of challenges. 

​

Together we can work on issues relating to:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Friendships

  • Family

  • Career

  • College/Graduate School

  • Life Transitions

  • Dating and Relationships

 

Therapy offers a unique opportunity for self-reflection and personal growth. Together, we can explore past and present experiences that may be impacting your current thoughts and feelings.  Therapy provides additional support through life hurdles, building resilience, and embarking on a journey towards greater emotional well-being and fulfillment.

 

 

Young Adults Dealing with Grief, Cancer, or a Chronic Illness

​

Navigating grief, cancer, or a chronic illness in your 20s and 30s can be an extraordinarily challenging and isolating experience. At a time when many of your peers are focused on building careers, relationships, having children, and planning for the future, coping with the emotional and physical toll of these circumstances can feel overwhelming. 

​

Therapy can provide a safe and empathetic space where you can express your feelings, fears, and uncertainties without judgment. Together, we can navigate the complex emotions associated with grief or the uncertainty of a chronic illness, allowing you to process your experiences and develop coping strategies.

​

When going through these challenging situations, therapy can help combat the isolation often felt by young adults.  While your friends and family may be well-intentioned, they might not fully understand what you're going through. It is important to have someone you can talk to about these unique experiences, so you can communicate with your support system in the most effective way possible.  

​

Ultimately, therapy can be a vital source of support, helping you to normalize your experiences, manage the emotional challenges, and develop resilience in the face of adversity. It's a place where you can find validation, empathy, and strategies to navigate this difficult journey.
