There’s a lot to figure out right now
Young adulthood has always involved uncertainty. Some of the pressures facing young adults today can make that uncertainty harder to navigate.
Work can feel unstable or demanding. Financial goals and traditional milestones may feel farther away. Relationships, family expectations, and questions about identity can pull you in different directions. And it can be difficult to make decisions about your own life when so much happening around you feels unsettled.
Therapy can be a place to sort through all of that and make sense of what’s happening around you, too.
Our intake coordinator can answer questions about availability and help you find a therapist who may be a good fit.
Room to figure it out
It’s okay to start therapy feeling unsure of what’s wrong or not knowing exactly what you need. You might have a vague sense of what you want, or simply know that something feels missing.
You may want a plan and also feel understandably exhausted by the idea of trying to make one. Therapy can be a place to sort out what needs your attention now and what can wait.
We’ll look at what feels hardest right now and choose a place to start. From there, we can figure out what comes next.
Frequently asked questions about young adult therapy
Q. How can therapy help if other people have strong ideas about what I should be doing?
Other people’s expectations can shape our ideas about what the “right” thing is to do. Therapy can give you room to orient to who you are, where you are, and what matters to you now — so you can make choices that align with your values.
Q. What if I’m burned out by everything? Can therapy help?
There is a lot happening that can wear us down. Societal developments, uncertainty about the future, and constant demands on our attention and capacity can all be part of it.
Add in the uncertainty that can come with young adulthood, and it makes sense if you’re feeling burned out.
Therapy can help you make sense of what’s wearing you down and consider how you want to respond within the realities you’re actually living with.
Q. What should I know about privacy if I’m using someone else’s insurance?
If you use insurance through a parent, partner, or someone else’s plan, some information about claims or benefits may be visible to the policyholder. If privacy is a concern, our intake coordinator can help you identify what questions to ask about your coverage before you get started.
