Therapy for Teens & Young Adults
Life transitions
As you scoot between schools, jobs, or relationships, it can feel daunting. This is often a time when people experience generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and/or depression. Change can be overwhelming, because it is a time of loss, fear of the unknown, and insecurity. In therapy, you will learn to pave your way through the time of transition and build long standing resiliency skills.
Adjusting to College
College is a huge adjustment. Some people have planned to attend college their whole lives, while others discovered the world of college later on in life. No matter how your pathway to college unfolded, it can be a scary and daunting place. It’s a big adjustment – social, academic, and financial. Specifically, college is an identity shifter – it changes the ways we are accustomed to living and forces us to adjust to a new way of living.
Career or Job Distress
Whether you are entering a career or have been in a career for a long period of time, sometimes it is just not what we expect, too much is expected of us, and/or we feel like an imposter in the work setting. Therapy can be used to understand what is going on related to your career experience, how you are functioning at work, what can be different, and tools to manage the distress you are likely feeling.
Relational/Relationship Issues
Relationships with humans can be difficult. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming, disheartening, and hopeless. Therapy can be used as a way to understand your relationships patterns, learn to begin the process of changing relationships, and determine how relationships affect your mental health.
Self-Esteem
Feeling down on yourself? You are not alone. As a person, you may have received messages in your past or your present that contribute to the way you look down on yourself. In therapy, you will look at how you treat yourself, ways to do things differently, and most importantly, learn to have more self-compassion.
