My Approach to Young Adult Therapy in San Jose
Life changes bring pressure and uncertainty. Maybe you’re in college and trying to decide what to do with your life and career, which can feel like one of the biggest decisions you might ever make. Or maybe you're fresh out of college and still don’t know what you want to do! (hint: that’s okay too!) Or maybe you are finally seeing growth in your career and figuring out how to navigate and balance your work and personal lives. Maybe you’re thinking about getting married or starting a family. Whatever the life change might be, it can feel so overwhelming navigating it on your own! And to top it off, maybe you struggle to put yourself first in all of this.
Whatever seasons of life you are in, you have probably felt pressure and overwhelm at some stage of it. Young adulthood is about discovering who you are, totally independent from family and friends. Young adulthood is a time for figuring out your goals and aspirations. Young adulthood is about identifying new values to bring with you and live by in adulthood.
Young adult therapy is the perfect space to explore all of these things and more. Young adult therapy is helpful for bouncing ideas off someone neutral who will support you no matter what, no judgements, on your journey to self love and self acceptance. Young adult therapy is your opportunity to break generational cycles, it's your turn to say, this is what I believe and this is how I want to live or raise my family, etc. Young adulthood will help you identify, explore and set boundaries that are consistent with your values and help you learn value based decision making skills to improve your confidence into adulthood.
Young adult therapy is your opportunity to truly embrace your healing girl era! {or healing guy era :) }
Let’s help you learn to put yourself first and love the most important person in your life a little bit more, you! If you’re ready to enter your healing era, contact me, your young adult therapist in San Jose, today to schedule a free consultation!

Therapy is most successful when you feel safe, secure and connected to your therapist. Choosing the right young adult therapist for you is one of the most important decisions you may make in your healing and growth journey. It’s good to keep some of these questions in mind when looking for a young adult therapist:
Can I relate to this therapist and vice versa, will they really get what I am going through? Look through their about me and approach sections of their website to see if you connect with them. It is often helpful to find a therapist that has experience working with exactly what you need, in this case a therapist who has experience working with young adults is most helpful.
Does their expertise and approach fit what I am looking for or what I need? I don’t know what I need, I’ve never been to therapy before? To help answer these questions, look through the therapist's approach and services sections first. Secondarily, look for therapists that offer free consultations for you to connect with them over the phone prior to scheduling a session to open up dialogue and get a sense of if they feel like the right fit or if they understand your needs.
What should the consultation be like to know if this is the right therapist for me? You should feel a sense of ease, comfort, connection, validation, acknowledgement of your needs and understanding of your concerns when speaking with a therapist over the phone during a consultation.
