Therapy for your twenties, and everything they ask of you

A run of firsts

This stretch of life is full of firsts: living away from home, managing your own schedule, a first real job, a first serious relationship or a first hard breakup. The structure that school and family provided starts to fall away, and it can feel as though everyone else has a plan except you. Comparison does not help, especially when other people's lives arrive on your phone already edited.

• School and work: College pressure, first jobs, and not knowing yet what you want to do.
• Independence: Bills, chores and decisions that used to belong to someone else.
• Relationships: Friendships changing, dating, and family ties shifting as you grow up.
• Direction: Feeling stuck, behind, or unsure which way to go next.

When focus, worry or mood get in the way

For some young adults, ADHD becomes much more noticeable once the structure of high school is gone. Lectures replace a scheduled day, deadlines sit weeks away, and nobody checks in. ADHD is the primary specialty of the practice, and the ADHD therapy page and the page on adult ADHD describe how that work goes here.

Worry can also spike during big transitions, whether it shows up as racing thoughts at night or dread before social situations. Anxiety therapy and social anxiety cover those. If things feel flat or heavy, or burnout has set in earlier than you expected, that deserves attention too.

How sessions work

Sessions are practical and direct. We start with what you want to be different, in specific terms, and look for the times things are already going a bit better. The approach is solution focused, drawing on CBT, ACT and DBT skills where they help: testing the thoughts that keep you stuck, acting on what matters even while you are unsure, and steadying big emotions when life feels like too much at once.

There is room for the bigger questions too, such as identity, values, and what you want your life to look like, which the life transitions page explores further. If self-doubt is a constant companion, the self-esteem page covers that thread.

Fitting therapy into a full schedule

Between classes, shifts and everything else, finding an hour can be the hardest part. Telehealth lets you join from anywhere private in Florida, and office hours include Wednesday until 9:00pm and Saturday from 10:00am to 4:00pm. Sessions can only be held while you are physically in Florida, so time spent out of state, such as summers or a semester away, needs planning ahead.

Diagnosis and medication sit with medical providers. Therapy here focuses on the daily and emotional side of what you are dealing with.
