Young Adults & Therapy
Gen Z and Millennials are often characterized as the most mentally aware generations. They have made strides to reject the stigma of therapy that prevented so many of their parents from getting help. Young adults are increasingly seeking therapy to address a range of mental health concerns, including:
Anxiety and Depression:
These are prevalent mental health conditions that can manifest in various ways, from generalized anxiety to specific phobias and major depressive disorder.
Social Anxiety:
Feeling uncomfortable or anxious in social situations is a common issue, especially for those who may struggle with social media comparison or fear of judgment. Isolation during covid has left some people needing help developing social skills and confidence.
Stress and Burnout:
The pressures of academic, career, and personal responsibilities can lead to chronic stress and burnout, affecting both mental and physical health.
Relationship Issues:
Navigating complex relationships, whether romantic, familial, or platonic, can be challenging, and therapy can provide tools for healthier communication and conflict resolution.
Trauma and PTSD:
Many Gen Z individuals have experienced traumatic events, such as abuse, neglect, or significant life stressors, leading to symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Body Image and Self-Esteem:
Societal pressures and unrealistic beauty standards can negatively impact body image and self-esteem, leading to low self-worth and eating disorders.
Substance Abuse and Addiction:
The misuse of substances like alcohol and drugs can be a significant problem, particularly among young adults.
Grief and Loss:
Experiencing loss, whether through death, breakups, or other significant life changes, can be overwhelming and require support to process emotions and move forward.
What Young Adults Know
After sorting through everything the internet has to offer, it can become clear that nothing repaces the experience of an authentic personal relationship. To really explore yourself, it helps to have someone who is really paying attention to you. Your uniqueness, your vulnerabilities, your superpowers. Therapy offers a place for you to sort through all the things everyone has been telling you, and come out knowing what your own truth is. Therapy is a place to have someone who believes in you, actually sit with you, to understand, to heal, to affirm and to empower you to believe in yourself.
