young adult therapy in nc
Support for college students, twenty-somethings, and anyone navigating early adulthood
Early adulthood is full of transitions: school, work, identity, relationships, independence, expectations, and the pressure to “figure your life out.” Even when you’re doing your best, it can feel overwhelming, lonely, or confusing. Maybe you're anxious. Maybe you feel stuck. Maybe you're exhausted from holding everything together.
Therapy offers a space to pause, breathe, and make sense of what you’re experiencing — with someone who gets the unique challenges of this stage of life.
Early adulthood can feel overwhelming — even when you’re doing “everything right”
