Therapy for Young Adults
Young people don’t know what age is, and old people forget what youth was.
~ Proverb
The teenage and college years are some of the most confusing and turbulent times of our lives. And yet, the potential benefits of therapy for young adults are often ignored at these pivotal moments.
The Teenage and College Years
Stresses for college-age and teenage kids are plentiful. They are old enough to have developed their own opinions and ideas about the world, but their brains are (literally) still developing. Conflicts among siblings can also become more pronounced, as each seeks to develop their unique identities.
Parenting skills that were once effective have to change to offer appropriate independence, while still providing children with the security and support young adults require. Peer influences and media susceptibility become more pronounced as young people attempt to make decisions about their future careers, romantic lives, friendships, and more.
