Young Adult Therapy
When the next step feels hard to take.
The years after high school can carry a lot of pressure: finishing school, finding work, moving out, figuring out who you are. Feeling stuck or overwhelmed is common, and it often affects the whole family. We work with young adults on their own, with their parents, and with the family together.
- Feel less stuck and more able to take the next step
- Rebuild confidence and day-to-day structure
- Find a better way for parents and adult children to talk
Quick Answer
My young adult seems stuck. What might be going on?
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed is common for young adults, and it is not a personal failing. Often anxiety, low mood, low confidence, or a hard transition is making it difficult to move forward with work, school, or living on their own. Therapy can help the young adult, and their parents when that helps, understand what is getting in the way and take the next step at a manageable pace.

Three ways we can help
Therapy for the young adult
One-on-one sessions to understand what's getting in the way and to take next steps that feel manageable.
Support for parents
Guidance on how to help without taking over, and how to set expectations that are clear and fair.
Parents and adult children together
Family sessions in person or by telehealth. Everyone joining needs to be in California.
Because we are a family practice, the young adult and the parents can each see their own therapist here. With everyone's permission, those therapists work together, so each person's work supports the others.
Common reasons young adults and families reach out
- Feeling stuck after high school or college
- Living at home and finding it hard to move forward
- Anxiety, depression, or low motivation
- Struggling with school, work, or daily routines
- Strain or conflict between parents and adult children
- Big transitions: moving out, a first job, a breakup
For parents
You may have come across the phrase “failure to launch.” We don't use it as a label. Feeling stuck or overwhelmed is common and isn't a personal failing. But if that's what brought you here, you're in the right place.
