Young Adult Therapy in Atlanta, GA

Being A Young Adult is Hard

Only a few years ago, you were living at home and your parents were helping you out. Now, you’re an adult! You’re supposed to have life all figured out and know how to handle everything life throws your way. But let’s be honest, school didn’t prepare you for the real world.

When you were younger, I bet you used to dream about what life would be like when you “grew up.” I bet you assumed that being an adult would allow you to do whatever you wanted to do, whenever you wanted to do it. When you were with your parents or caregivers and following their rules, I’m sure it sounded pretty great. But, the reality is being an adult isn’t that cool.

In fact, being an adult means having to work for a living or go to school. You manage your finances, have complex relationships, and let’s be honest, clean up after yourself. That means doing your own laundry.

The Challenges of Life Transitions

That can be super stressful. Especially if you’re navigating all these major changes without support. You may not have known, but almost every adult struggles with the time between being a teen and adulthood. So, you’re not alone in your struggles. We’ve supported countless young adults during their life transitions. We help give them practical tools so they can face tough times with confidence. After life transitions therapy, they leave with the skills they need to be successful.

Young adults face many challenges and mental health concerns.

No two people are alike, but some of the common reasons clients start young adult therapy at our Atlanta, GA counseling clinic include:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Going to college

Many young adults come to us and share that they feel lost. All the big changes that come with the transition to adulthood become very overwhelming. They tell us that they spend a lot of time wondering what is the right or best thing to do and where to go? But, here’s the good news, young adult counseling can provide you the clarity and peace you’re looking for. Then, you can move forward feeling confident in yourself and your abilities.

Young Adult Therapy in Atlanta, GA can Help

Life will never be without bumps in the road. The teen years can be difficult, but life as a young adult can be even harder. The good news is that young adult therapy can help you deal with the challenges you’re experiencing. To do this, we must first get to know more about you and the challenges that are bringing you to counseling. We know it can be intimidating to talk to someone you’ve never met about your problems. That’s why we work so hard to make young adult therapy a safe place for you to open up and so us your authentic self. A young adult therapist from our team can provide the support you deserve. We also provide support via online therapy for when you can’t make in-person appointments.

Our Approach to Young Adult Therapy

After, we have built a relationship with you to understand the issues you’re facing. Then, we will discuss some ways you can cope with the distress you’re feeling. This may include teaching you how to be mindful and aware of what’s happening in the present moment. We will also talk about ways you can get in front of the things that trigger you. Thus, taking away the power they have to cause you pain. We will discuss interpersonal skills and how you can improve your relationships with others. This will also include dealing with challenges when they arise. When you combine all these elements of counseling, you will find that you have a solid plan. Together, we will get you "unstuck" so you can move forward and embrace the life you want to live.

After young adult therapy, many of our clients report feeling less alone and supported throughout their life journey. They share that they can better identify their emotions and needs, set healthy boundaries, and ask for help. They feel more grounded and resilient to get through difficulties in life transitions.
