YOUNG ADULT THERAPIST IN ORANGE COUNTY

Transitioning from adolescence to adulthood is probably one of the hardest transitions you will go through. As an emerging adult, you go from being completely protected, supported, and guided to now you must leave the nest and you’re out on your own. Flying on your own! It’s scary. It’s really scary actually.

 

Maybe you’ve asked yourself several times how I am supposed to do this? How am I supposed to support myself financially? How am I supposed to make decisions for myself and take care of myself? Some of the biggest challenges are managing all the new responsibilities and setting realistic expectations for yourself and what that looks like especially going through this life transition.

 

Maybe you’ve also asked yourself, what does my relationship with my parents look like outside of the house? Young adults are very aware of conflicts, flaws, and struggles within each parental relationship they have. In young adult therapy, we will discuss how the relationship with your parents and caregivers have had an impact on your current views of relationships now.

 

Often many young adults feel pressure from family, friends, and society to begin developing intimate relationships and start a family. In young adult therapy, most young adults explore what they need in a friendship and how to deepen their relationships. Going through so much change, most young adults will ask themselves, “Are my friends really there for me? Are my friends supporting me how I like to be supported?”

 

It’s a journey where you are figuring out what you want in life what life means to you and then tailoring your lifestyle to fit those values. Our approach with young adult therapy is creating a space where young adults can be open to discuss and identify new values and beliefs and be confident going into adulthood. Through young adult therapy, we help emerging adults have self-compassion to go through those trial and errors with acceptance and forgiveness.
