How Therapy Can Support Young Adults
Young adulthood often brings a flood of transitions and change. Whether you're facing a major life shift or just feeling like something’s off, therapy gives you a space to slow down and tune in.
Our sessions are designed to help you:

Navigate changing relationships and friendships

It’s not about having everything figured out. It’s about creating space to discover what matters to you—and learning how to move forward with more confidence and peace of mind.

What to Expect in Therapy
Starting therapy might feel intimidating, especially if you’ve never done it before. That’s okay. Our role is to guide the process, not pressure it.
During your first few sessions, we’ll take time to understand your world—what’s working, what isn’t, and what you’d like to change. Together, we’ll define goals that feel meaningful to you. This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel more grounded, connected, and confident.
Expect therapy to be:
Conversational and collaborative
Centered around your values and preferences
A safe space for honesty, humor, tears, and growth
A place where setbacks are welcome, not judged
Therapy with us doesn’t follow a script. It follows you—your experiences, your pace, and your vision for a healthier life.
