Individual Therapy for Young Adults

1470743378Navigating life is not easy for young adults.

One might think it a little silly to separate young adults from other categories, but the stressors experienced by young adults can make or break the life-changing decisions made at this time of life.

Often people minimize and laugh about the problems of young people, but this time of their lives is significant in mapping their future directions.

Young people face many stressors, including education choices, romance, living conditions, beginning jobs, financial issues, and parental involvement and expectations.

On top of the stressors, processing any trauma that may have occurred during one’s life can lead to anxiety, which can become out of control.

Therapy can make life less challenging.

As a counselor, I can help a young person prioritize choices and actions, recognize stressors, make plans to overcome the ones that cause a person to stay stuck in a rut, and help them map out problems and come to decisions about productively handling those problems.

For those dealing with past trauma, I use EMDR, which helps overcome trauma and other issues that cause a young person to be stuck.

Anxiety over test grades, projects due, and decisions over what classes to take or what job to accept are some situations that confront young people today. Therapy can help young people address anxiety and minimize negative self-talk.

Therapy also helps young people address depressed moods or grief over losses from various situations, allowing them to overcome sadness and feel happier with life.

The path ahead will be easier once you’ve identified the challenges.

Let’s work together to navigate a life for you that is less stressful and leads to one full of joy and possibilities.
