Life doesn’t look the way you expected it to.

Remember dreaming of adulting? Now it's here, and let's be honest... it kinda sucks. You might project a put-together image, but inside, insecurity and confusion reign supreme. You constantly wonder if you're doing everything wrong.

You’re out in the world. Maybe you’re graduating, already done with college, or you’ve been working for a few years. The world considers you an adult but you look around and think, “What, ME?!” Adulting has always been hard, and there’s no user manual for it. But today? It literally could not be harder to figure out what you’re supposed to do with your life, and previous generations are no help.

From figuring out who you are to navigating relationships, work, and even what to eat for dinner, it's all a struggle when you don't feel comfortable in your own skin. You're frustrated, stuck, and maybe you’ve even tried therapy before and it wasn't the magic bullet you hoped for. The thought of starting again feels like another hurdle. But you also can’t keep going this way. You’re done with your own self-doubt. Deep down, you know you need a way out of this funk.

Here's the good news: You're not alone.

Does any of this sound like you?

  • “I often feel anxious or depressed.”

  • “I don’t have any confidence that I’m doing anything right.”

  • “I feel overwhelmed and stuck.”

  • “My negative thoughts seem to control me, making it hard to move forward.”

  • “I just want to feel understood and accepted.”

  • “This constant voice in my head tells me I'm not good enough, and I'm tired of believing it.”

  • “I want to connect with myself and others on a deeper level.”

  • “I want to believe in myself and feel peace.”

Young adulthood can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. This transformative phase of life brings about so many transitions that ultimately shape who we will become. These might make great stories when you’re looking back in 20 years, but what about when you’re in the middle of the chaos? How are you supposed to survive, let alone thrive?

We’ve been there, and we’ve got you.

  • A: Our therapists cover the age spectrum, from big sister to thoughtful uncle. We prioritize finding you the perfect fit over everything else, so speak up about your preferences and we will make sure to match you with the person who is going to best help you reach your goals.

  • A: Your therapist is highly skilled at listening to a bunch of jumbled thoughts and pulling out the common threads, important insights, and areas to focus on first. You don’t have to come in with anything more concrete than a desire to feel better. We’ll work with you on the rest.

  • A: Even if your parent/guardian is paying for therapy or you are using their health insurance benefits, they do not have access to anything that is discussed in therapy. They might ask, they might expect to be included, and they might even feel entitled to this information, but your therapist has a relationship with you, who is their client, and no one else. Your therapist will discuss confidentiality with you in your initial intake session, and will let you know the rare exceptions to it (if your safety is at imminent risk, if a court subpoenas the information, or if you request information be shared with a parent, guardian, or other medical provider). Otherwise, what is said in therapy stays in therapy.
