Young Adult Therapy

““You are not behind. You are not lost. You are on a path that’s uniquely yours — be patient with becoming.”

Young Adult Therapy

Find clarity. Build confidence. Navigate life with support.

The transition from adolescence into adulthood can be both exciting and overwhelming. For many young adults (ages 19–24), this season brings major decisions, identity shifts, and emotional challenges. Whether you're in college, entering the workforce, navigating relationships, or feeling unsure about your next step, therapy can help you sort through the noise and connect with your true self.

At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, we specialize in helping young adults make sense of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Many of our clients come in feeling anxious, stuck, or lost—wrestling with stress about the future, loneliness, or the pressure to “have it all figured out.” Others are working through the impact of past trauma, family expectations, or relationship struggles that continue to affect their confidence and well-being.

We offer a safe, judgment-free space to process emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and explore your identity and goals. Our therapists are skilled in evidence-based approaches such as CBT, EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed care, and we tailor each session to meet your unique needs.

If you’re ready to get unstuck and feel more like yourself again, we’re here to walk alongside you. You don’t have to do this alone. 

Online Therapy for Young Adults

We understand that young adulthood is busy and often unpredictable. That’s why we offer online therapy—so you can access support from wherever you are, on your terms. Whether you’re juggling school, work, or just prefer the comfort of your own space, virtual sessions provide flexibility without sacrificing quality care. Online therapy is confidential, convenient, and designed to fit into your lifestyle, helping you prioritize your mental health without added stress.

Evidence-Based Practices for Women

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
    EMDR is a powerful method for processing trauma and reducing the emotional intensity of past experiences. Our trained therapists use EMDR to help you feel more in control and less triggered by difficult memories. Learn more.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is an evidence-based approach to healing emotional wounds by exploring the different “parts” within you—such as the inner critic, the people-pleaser, or the part that holds trauma or anxiety. At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, our therapists use IFS to help you develop self-awareness, reduce inner conflict, and reconnect with your core Self—the calm, compassionate inner leader we all have. IFS therapy can be especially helpful for individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, or relationship patterns rooted in past experiences.

  • Trauma-Focused CBT is an evidence-based therapy designed to help children, teens, and young adults heal from traumatic experiences. At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, we use TF-CBT to gently guide clients in understanding how trauma has impacted their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through a structured and supportive process, clients learn to reduce trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, nightmares, and emotional reactivity. This approach combines cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation skills, and safe trauma processing to promote long-term healing and resilience.

  • At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, we use mindfulness therapy, somatic therapy, and brain-based interventions to support holistic, trauma-informed healing. Mindfulness helps you stay grounded in the present moment and relate to your thoughts and emotions with more awareness and compassion. Somatic therapy for trauma focuses on how the body stores stress and emotional pain, using tools like breathwork, movement, and sensation to restore calm and safety. Our brain-based therapy techniques, informed by neuroscience, help regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and support lasting emotional resilience.

  • Ego State Therapy
    Ego State Therapy is a trauma-informed approach that helps you explore the different “parts” or “states” of self that form in response to life experiences—especially during times of stress or trauma. At Thrive Counseling for Healing and Connection, we use Ego State Therapy to support clients in understanding internal conflicts, emotional triggers, and behaviors that may feel confusing or out of sync with their goals. By working with these internal parts in a safe and supportive way, clients develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and healing from past wounds. Ego State Therapy is especially helpful for those navigating complex trauma, anxiety, and attachment wounds.
