Expectations vs. The Reality of Young Adulthood
When you were a kid, you likely dreamed about what life would be like as an adult. You were excited about the freedom and opportunities you would have. But, now that you’ve reached adulthood you’re left wondering, “why did I think this would be so great?”
The responsibilities that come with being an adult are stressful and very overwhelming. No one gave you a manual on how to handle the tough times, you’re expected to know. But let’s face it, no course in school teaches you how to pay bills. No class helps you budget, handle relationship issues, or jump-start your career.
You may have thought about asking your parents for help, but don’t want them to know you’re struggling. Or, you’ve followed your friends’ examples. But, in the end, you feel lost and even a bit frightened.
You want support, from someone who actually gets what it’s like to navigate the world as a young adult. Someone who you can relate to and trust will give you solid advice. You need support from a young adult therapist.
Common reasons why individuals see a counselor for young adult therapy:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Trauma
- Anger
- Transitioning to college or graduating from college
- Career challenges
- Breakups or other relationship concerns
- Financial stress
- Getting married or divorced
- Having children
- Family issues
Here’s the thing, young adults start therapy for many reasons. The bottom line is that if you’re struggling, a young adult therapist can meet you where you are. The therapy team at Wellview Counseling can support you on your journey towards healing.
Our Approach to Young Adult Therapy in Roswell, GA
For young adult therapy to be helpful, you have to build a good relationship with your therapist. You have to feel comfortable working with them to make progress. During the first few sessions, your therapist will work hard to get to know you. Together, you will address the issues that bring you to counseling. Our skilled therapists have lots of experience working with young adults who have experienced similar challenges. We’re prepared to help you succeed.
Our Young Adult Therapists use Evidence-Based Treatments
This may include CBT, DBT, and EMDR to help you address these issues head-on. Also, this may mean getting uncomfortable and talking about what’s bothering you. Next, your therapist will teach you useful tools to cope with distress. Our therapists know that life often throws you curveballs. And, they will be happy to support you through those things too. They are here to help you as long as you feel you need it.
Last, it’s very important to know that your therapist will treat you as an individual. Like how no two people are the same, no two counseling sessions will be the same either. It’s important to us that your needs are honored and respected during counseling. You will never be judged for the issues you bring to therapy. Instead, you will find high-quality support tailored to meet your unique needs.
After young adult therapy, we hope you will feel hopeful for what lies ahead. You will be energized to tackle those hard things because you will have the confidence to know that you can handle them. Young adulthood is tough, but a life transitions therapist can help you embrace this time in your life and find happiness.
