Therapy for Young Adults in NYC

If you’re not exactly where you want to be right now in your early twenties, it may feel like you’re alone.

Your peers seem to be traveling, getting married, landing their dream jobs, and doing all kinds of things you can’t imagine being able to do. Maybe you’ve gotten the perfect job and found the love of your life, but you still don’t feel fulfilled. Perhaps you’re struggling with anxiety and stress.

From numerous life transitions to fear of missing out, the late teens and twenties can be a challenging time. Therapy for young adults can help you navigate everything life throws at you with a greater level of resilience and stability.

Therapy isn’t the right resource for every young adult, but it can be beneficial for young adults between the ages 18 and 25 in a variety of situations, including:

  • Those who feel unsure about their life’s direction or purpose.

  • Those who find themselves procrastinating or avoiding their obligations.

  • People who are having trouble feeling motivated.

  • Young adults who are struggling to maintain healthy relationships.

  • Those who feel lonely or isolated.

  • People engaging in destructive coping mechanisms like disordered eating, substance use, promiscuity, or impulsive spending.

Will Therapy Really Help?

Many of my clients ask me this question. Of course, I’m a little biased because therapy is my job, but I have seen the positive impact of therapy firsthand, especially for my young adult clients. Therapy offers a safe space to make time to process your emotions, understand negative thought cycles, and change destructive behaviors.
