These are some of the difficult but also exciting questions young adults are faced with during their transition from adolescence to adulthood. A young adult must use the skills he/she has learned as a child and teenager to navigate the adult world and create a satisfying life for themselves. This is no small task. Even those who benefit from supportive families and environments may struggle with this transition. Young adults who have had difficult childhoods and limited support systems face added challenges.

As a therapist who specializes in working with young adults, I can help you to:

• Figure out what the problem is (if you don't already know)
• Distinguish who you are, separate from who your family and friends may think you are or should be
• Work though difficult aspects of your childhood
• Discover what you want at this time in your life
• Develop a plan of action for moving toward short and long term goals
• Find your way to successful love relationships
• Improve family connections
• Clarify career interests
• Enhance friendships
• Work with issues surrounding sexuality and sexual identity

The valuable insights and tools gained from being in therapy can benefit you now and be useful to you throughout your adult life. Getting therapy as a young adult can change the course of your life for the better.
