Therapy for Young Adults
Serving Center City, Philadelphia and surrounding areas
On the outside, you've got it all together.
When people look at you, they see a happy, successful young adult. But on the inside, you feel anxious, sad, and overwhelmed ... like this “mask” might slip at any moment.
Maybe you're navigating a breakup and wondering why your relationships never seem to work. Maybe you feel isolated from your friend group, even though you go out of your way to be the best friend you can be.
Maybe you simply feel like a failure, like you can’t measure up to others’ standards (or the ones you’ve set for yourself).
Whatever it is, you feel stuck, and you are looking for support to move forward. We can help. You’ve now spent months — maybe even years — feeling “off,” and you’re ready for some relief. You know it’s time to find someone who can help get to the root of this.
Relief is within reach.
It may feel impossible right now, but you can feel secure in your relationships. You can feel confident in the amazing person you are. You can feel at peace with your past. And we can help you get there.
We’ll spend time unpacking the burdens you’re carrying, talking through your experiences to understand the purpose they’re serving. We’ll undo the shame associated with the parts of yourself you don’t like … because underneath those things lie your strength.
Why Us?
Our training in both child and adult therapies means we can work through everything you're struggling with — no matter what its cause or when it began. And because we’ve walked this road ourselves, we can understand the things you’re struggling with in a very real way.
Choosing a therapist is a big decision! Schedule a free consultation with one of us today, and we’ll determine if we’re a good fit. If we’re not, we can connect with you with a number of other talented therapists in our area — because at the end of the day, this is about you getting the healing, clarity, and peace you deserve.
People-pleasing, anxiety, and guilt
don't have to define your story.
Frequently Asked Questions
ABOUT THERAPY FOR YOUNG ADULTS
+ What are sessions like?
Generally, we will meet for 50-55 minutes every week. Therapy sessions will include more than just talking about your problems (although that’s a very important part!). As therapists specializing in childhood trauma, anxiety treatment, and trauma therapy, we will tailor therapy to what will be most effective. This means we will go beyond “just talking” or “rehashing” old pain and utilize a variety of methods (including sand tray therapy and other creative methods) to help you identify and experience (in a new, helpful way) your deepest emotions, wants and needs, in order to be able to relate to yourself and others more compassionately and effectively. The places inside your heart and mind that feel too scary to go, we will go with you.
+ I’ve never had any “big” traumas in my life. Do I still need therapy?
It’s easy to compare our experiences to others. Perhaps you were not witness to abuse growing up or severely neglected by your parents. Maybe you’ve never experienced a large traumatic event. This does not discount what has occurred. Sometimes the most painful wounds in our lives are actually small, seemingly meaningless ones that add up over time.
Therapy at All of You Therapy, including trauma therapy, isn’t just for severe trauma victims. If you’re realizing that your anxiety, depression, or general unhappiness is beginning to affect other aspects of your life, then you can benefit from our working together.
+ I thought you were children's therapists. Why do you work with adults?
Believe it or not, it’s actually our expertise with kids that makes our work with adults so powerful. Many therapists are focused on helping you cope with the problems you’ve experienced, which can be very beneficial. However, our understanding of children means we don’t just understand adults as they are right now; we understand the kid they were (and, in many ways, still are).
Therapy is about more than just coping with what’s at hand today; it’s about understanding and healing what’s gotten you here. Because that is where true freedom lies.
