Young adults

Almost half of all young adults report some kind of mental health symptoms. So even if it sometimes feels like it’s just you, you’re far from alone. Young adulthood can be a lot to handle. You’re busy trying to discover who you are, on your terms, and what that means for your future. Meanwhile, you also have to worry about juggling your education, finding and keeping jobs, managing bills, and forming new relationships. Then on top of all that, many young adults have unresolved past traumas which can significantly complicate all of this.

And as if that weren’t enough, young adult brains are still developing well into your twenties: constantly “rewiring” itself, trying to make new connections while pruning some of the old ones. It can feel like you’re constantly trying to change the tires on a car that’s still driving down the highway: really overwhelming, exhausting, and seemingly futile at times. This can turn into feelings of loneliness, sadness, isolation, and even hopelessness when it gets to be too much.

We offer a free phone consultation to talk with a therapist about the struggles of being a young adult you may be experiencing. You’ll decide together which of our staff therapists might be best able to help.
