Young Adult Psychotherapy

Are you struggling with finding or transitioning to a new school or job? Is becoming independent difficult for you or are you struggling with your relationships? Have you experienced a traumatic event? Are you having mood swings, engaging in risky behaviors, experiencing low motivation, or feeling more sad or anxious than usual?

We are here to help you with any difficulties you may be having as a young adult. Young adulthood is a time of life that consists of many major life transitions across multiple domains, including school, friends, family, and romantic relationships. Individuals may struggle to navigate this challenging and constantly changing time of life. With the help of our highly-skilled and doctoral level clinicians, we will help you uncover your strengths and develop new skills necessary to be successful in young adulthood. 

Our clinicians utilize an integrative approach towards our psychotherapy services and will tailor treatment according to your specific needs. The treatment approaches we may incorporate include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family Systems, and Psychodynamic Techniques. Common concerns we treat in young adults include, but are not limited to:

  • Anxiety
