Therapy for Late Teens & Young Adults
You are figuring out who you are.
That is harder than anyone told you it would be.
Therapy for young adults who are navigating the gap between who they were and who they are becoming, and who are ready to do that with some real support rather than just grinding through it alone.
Adulting is genuinely hard.
Not because something is wrong with you.
There is a version of young adulthood that looks effortless from the outside. People who seem to have it figured out, who know what they want, who are not still untangling the same stuff they carried out of high school or college. That version is mostly not real. What is real is that this stage of life asks a lot of people, and most of them are doing it without enough support.
You are building your sense of self while simultaneously managing relationships, career pressure, financial stress, and the particular loneliness of being surrounded by people who all seem to have it more together than you do. Therapy is not a sign that you are failing at adulthood. It is one of the most useful things you can do during it.
The patterns you are dealing with now, in how you relate to people, how you handle conflict, what you do when things get hard, these are not set in stone. This is actually one of the best times in your life to change them.
Practical details
How this works
Who we see
Adults in their late teens through early thirties navigating identity, relationships, anxiety, family of origin, life transitions, and the general weight of figuring out who you are as an adult.
Session format
50-minute sessions, typically weekly or biweekly. The pacing depends on what you are working on and what the work requires. There is no predetermined number of sessions.
Approach
Relational, experientia IFS-informed approaches are integrated into the work as appropriate rather than as separate protocols.
Sessions are available via-telehealth across New Jersey
Who we work with
Young adults who are ready to actually do something about what is not working.
My young adult clients tend to be thoughtful, self-aware, and genuinely tired of going in circles. They are not in crisis as a baseline. They are people who can see what is happening clearly enough to know they want it to be different, and who are willing to put in real effort to get there.
People in their twenties and early thirties who are navigating relationships, identity, career, and the particular disorientation of not yet knowing who they are becoming
Young adults who can function well day to day but carry anxiety, self-doubt, or relational patterns that keep costing them things they care about
People who grew up in difficult, chaotic, or emotionally unavailable homes and are only now beginning to understand what that actually did to them
Anyone who has been in therapy before and felt like it did not go deep enough, or who is trying therapy for the first time and wants something that actually moves
Young adults who know intellectually what their patterns are and cannot figure out why knowing it is not enough to change it
People at a transition point who are not sure who they are on the other side of it and want real support in figuring that out
