Therapy for young adults figuring out what comes next

Young adulthood is often described as a time that should feel exciting and free, which can make it harder to admit when you're struggling. You may be dealing with pressure to have a plan, comparison with friends who seem further ahead, money stress, a changing relationship with your family, or questions about identity and purpose. Sometimes it's anxiety or a low mood that started earlier and followed you into adulthood.

Several of our clinicians focus on adolescents and young adults. Whether you're figuring out your next steps or you've been carrying a lot quietly, the goal is a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are.

Therapy at this stage doesn't have to be about a crisis. It can be about building the coping skills, confidence, and self-understanding that make the rest of adulthood feel more manageable.

How we help

Our clinicians draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, solution-focused and narrative approaches, and person-centered care. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and built around your goals.

• Anxiety, stress, and the pressure to have everything figured out
• Impostor feelings at school or work, and building real confidence
• Social anxiety, loneliness, and making connections in a new place
• Identity, values, and becoming your own person within your family
• Relationships, boundaries, and codependency
• Coping skills for low mood, overwhelm, and big life transitions

Common turning points

Young adulthood is full of transitions, and each one can stir up something different. You might be navigating:

• Graduating, starting college or a training program, or deciding not to
• A first full-time job, a job search, or a career change
• Moving out, moving back home, or moving to a new city
• A breakup, a new relationship, or friendships that are changing
• Managing money, time, and responsibilities on your own
• Loss, family changes, or old pain that resurfaces

Flexible ways to meet

Busy schedules are real. You can meet in person in Oak Lawn, Illinois or Marietta, Georgia, or use telehealth from a private space anywhere in Illinois, Georgia, or Florida. Our hours run until 8:00 PM Monday through Thursday and until 7:00 PM on Friday, with Saturday hours from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

If you're a parent of a young adult

If you're hoping your young adult will try therapy, you're welcome to share this page or our contact information with them. Adult clients choose what they share, and sessions are confidential, with only the narrow legal exceptions their therapist will explain up front.

Common questions

• Do my parents need to be involved?

  If you're an adult, you decide who is involved in your care. Sessions are confidential, with only the narrow legal exceptions your therapist will explain up front. If you'd like a parent or partner to join a session at some point, your therapist can help you plan for that.

• Will my insurance cover therapy?

  We accept many plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare (UHC), and plans must include behavioral health outpatient office benefits. Coverage can vary by state and plan, so contact our office and we will verify your benefits. Private pay, sliding scale, and monthly payment plans are also available.

• Is therapy only for serious problems?

  No. Therapy isn't reserved for people in crisis. It can also be a place to build skills, work through stress, and get clearer about your goals before things feel overwhelming.

• Can I do sessions online between classes or work?

  Yes, as long as you're in a private space and located in Illinois, Georgia, or Florida during the session. Telehealth happens over secure video, and you'll get a private link before each appointment.
