Therapy for Young Professionals

Individual Therapy for Young Professionals in San Francisco

There’s undoubtedly a lot on your plate.

You might feel lost or overwhelmed as you attempt to negotiate peers, dating, and identity.

After you stress out about your social life you still have to muster some energy and time for your career, family, and finances.

You might be tuned into the things that give you anxiety, but it could also just be a pervasive sense of burn out.

You just know that you need some help.

Unfortunately, asking for help is hard, particularly when you've been taught that being independent and self-reliant is the gold standard.

Therapy can provide the tools and insights you need to thrive in both your personal and professional life.

You can explore your goals, values, and aspirations, and then put them into practice.

You deserve to feel supported and empowered, to be your own advocate, as you navigate this exciting and sometimes overwhelming chapter of your life. 

While you're pushing to meet your career goals and personal expectations, it's important to maintain your mental and emotional well-being. 

In the rush to succeed, young professionals often table any semblance of balance, leaving themselves susceptible to intense stress, anxiety, and burnout.

There’s workplace pressure, learning to balance personal and professional life, and the struggle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome.

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, but that’s not a sustainable way to live your life.

Therapy offers a dedicated time and space to focus on yourself, an opportunity to address and manage the pressures unique to young professionals.

You will learn the importance of boundaries, communicating your needs, saying “no,” and prioritizing yourself.

Therapy is also a place to develop a plan about how to build a career, find and cultivate support, maintain a social life, and even find love.

You can learn about your emotions and become more skillful at managing your feelings.

You will learn how to handle work stress and identify when it’s time to make a change.

You can overcome feelings of imposter syndrome and self-doubt by discovering your strengths and learning to value your accomplishments.

Therapy is investing in your career’s longevity and your personal growth.

Our therapy services offer an opportunity to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals, especially for those seeking expert guidance from top therapists in San Francisco.
