Therapy for Young Adults
Early adult life can bring choices that seem to define everything at once: work, independence, identity, and where you belong. Comparing your timeline with others can make an uncertain period feel like a personal failure.

You do not need the perfect explanation. We can begin with what has been difficult and what you would like to understand.
What you may be noticing
- Feeling behind peers
- Adjusting to independent responsibilities
- Not knowing which expectations are truly yours
Your experience may look different. These examples are starting points for a conversation.
How we can work on this
We can slow down the pressure to have a finished plan and identify the choices in front of you. Our work may include anxiety, self-worth, and developing priorities that fit your circumstances.
I am Sam Rustum, LCPC. My work is collaborative: we will discuss your priorities, choose a starting point, and check whether our approach is useful to you.
A question you may have
Do I need to know what I want from life?
No. We can begin with what feels difficult now and work toward clearer next steps.
Talk about your next step.
