Therapy for Young Adults

You’re not a kid anymore.

But you’d never know it watching you interact with your parents. Their observations and advice get on your last nerve. It’s like they think that you can’t navigate life without the roadmap they provide.

Their tone can bring out your worst teenage reactions and even their silence can feel judgmental. Yes, you have transitioned beyond those teen years, but it seems your parents have failed to realize that. Dealing with criticism and intrusive questions is starting to make you avoid being around them.

You want a good relationship with your parents, but their comments easily trigger negativity despite your best intentions. As a result, your parents’ calls and texts often go unanswered.

There is a good chance you are not looking forward to your next in-person visit with them either.

Therapy can help make your relationship better.

Simply knowing why your relationship with your parents is how it is does nothing to improve it. You have tried everything you know, and now is the time to seek professional help. Therapy can go a long way toward healing your relationship with them.

While working with you, I offer a space where you can vent your feelings and identify the triggers. I will help you work through your issues with your parents.

You can make peace with your childhood issues and your parents and learn to set boundaries with calm confidence.

During our sessions, we can figure out the best way to talk things out with your parents and how to handle their comments and behaviors that bother you.

Why your relationship with your parent matters.

Where do we learn to express love, communicate, and manage conflict? Your home was your first classroom, and your parents were your first teachers.

If your parents’ couple dynamic was not the healthiest and their relationship with you leaves much to be desired – therapy can help you avoid the trap of unconsciously repeating these behaviors in your own relationships.

You can have a healthy relationship.

Having a healthy relationship with your parents means different things to different people.

Let me help you define and create the best adult relationship between you and your parents.
