Young Adult Therapy
Navigating Life’s Challenges with Confidence
Young adulthood is an exciting, transformative, and sometimes overwhelming time. It’s when you start making big decisions about your future, figure out who you really are, and take on new responsibilities. While this chapter of your life can be full of promise, it can also bring unique challenges—and that’s where therapy can help.
The Challenges of Young Adulthood
Does this sound familiar? “Adulting is hard!”
Many young adults share how overwhelming it feels to turn 18 or 21 and suddenly be expected to have everything figured out: your career path, college major, life goals, and more. It can feel like society handed you a massive to-do list without offering the tools or time to actually figure it out.
You might find yourself juggling:
- College or deciding whether to go to college
- Working a job to pay bills
- Building and maintaining friendships or romantic relationships
- Exploring who you are and what makes you happy
And amid all this, it can feel like there’s no time to rest, celebrate your wins, or even ask yourself if you’re heading in the right direction. Instead, you might feel stuck, second-guessing your choices, or simply trying to survive the day-to-day. Talking about these struggles with family or friends can sometimes feel impossible.
You’re not alone. Many young adults are facing similar feelings, especially given the added challenges of today’s world. Let’s be real: the global pandemic, social justice issues, and political and environmental stressors haven’t made things easier. It’s okay to feel like you need help sorting through it all.
Why Young Adults Seek Therapy
Since young adulthood includes transitioning to different roles and taking on new responsibilities, you may experience any number of feelings, such as overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. You may find yourself seeking more confidence in your decisions and in your relationships. Or maybe you have just hit a bump in the road and need to sort it out with someone who will take the time to understand.
Therapy can offer relief and clarity when you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Here are some common reasons young adults seek therapy:
- Coping with stress and anxiety
- Managing difficult emotions
- Feeling uncertain about your identity or life direction
- Engaging in risky behaviors (e.g., self-harm, substance use)
- Adjusting to life changes (moving, starting college, new jobs)
- Struggling with relationships (friendships, romantic, or family conflicts)
- Exploring concerns about sexuality or gender identity
- Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries
- Dealing with low self-esteem or self-worth
- Processing traumatic experiences
- Addressing existing or emerging mental health concerns
