Therapy for Young Adults Navigating Identity Shifts and Life Decisions

Finding Your Way in a Time of Big Questions

Being a young adult comes with high expectations and big decisions.

Maybe you're adjusting to college life, trying to find your footing in a new environment.

Maybe graduation is approaching, and you're unsure of your next step.

Perhaps you're navigating the pressure of a new job or feeling lost in your relationships, or wondering who you really are in this stage of life.

These identity shifts—in school, work, and relationships—can leave you feeling like everyone else has it figured out except you.

Whether you’re dating, navigating friendships, or managing family relationship problems, this chapter of life can feel both exciting and overwhelming. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Support for College, Career, and “Failure to Launch” Challenges

We understand the particular challenges that come in the early stages of entering adulthood. You deserve support that honors where you are and who you’re becoming.

College students often need help balancing classes, assignments, and social life—and mood and mental health can suffer in the process.

New graduates may struggle with career uncertainty, job hunting anxiety, or the pressure to have everything figured out right away.

For some, the path to independence isn’t linear. “Failure to launch” can happen for many reasons—moving back in with parents, struggling to maintain motivation, or feeling unsure about next steps. Living at home can create new tensions with family, especially when you’re trying to assert independence while still navigating relationship issues with parents.

Landing your first job is an exciting time, but presents many new experiences that are hard to process and navigate by yourself. Pressures of wanting to impress or be seen a certain way by higher ups can be anxiety inducing.

Therapy for young adults offers a space to slow down, be heard, and make sense of the transitions you’re navigating—without judgment or pressure.

How Psychodynamic Therapy Can Help

Exploring the Roots of Feeling Stuck, Anxious, or Unmotivated

You may not understand why you feel stuck, anxious, or unmotivated—and that’s okay. Psychodynamic therapy helps discover the inner patterns and emotional experiences that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. We’ll explore the deeper layers of your story, not to dwell on the past, but to understand how it’s showing up in the present.

Together, we create a space where you can reflect openly, gain insight, and strengthen your sense of self. Over time, therapy can help you:

  • Navigate identity shifts with confidence

  • Overcome failure to launch challenges

  • Strengthen your relationships and set healthy boundaries

  • Make career and life choices that align with your authentic self

If you're ready to start exploring what’s going on beneath the surface, or even if you're just curious, we’re here to help.

Let’s walk this road together—toward clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.
