Young adults between 18 to 24 years face challenges that are distinct to this crucial stage of their lives. Some of these areas are:
Academic Responsibilities
Career Decisions
Existential Questions
Financial Worries
Identity Crisis
Peer Relationships
Difficulty concentrating, low energy, a sense of worthlessness, and low mood are just some of the symptoms experienced.
Cultural aspects, international status and generational differences can make the struggles faced even harder.
Anxiety and Depression can become debilitating.
Please remember you are not alone.
As your psychotherapist, the first item on my agenda is to establish a strong rapport. From holding space, and curiosity, to exploring in-depth the presenting concerns will be the focus of our work.
Whether it is gaining insight, learning deep breathing exercises to harnessing social and family support, our efforts will be aimed at bringing about a constructive change in your life.
A young adult's life should be characterized by valuable memories, lasting relationships and meaningful life lessons.
Therapy for Adults
Adulting can be hard, whether it is juggling multiple roles, managing expectations or fulfilling responsibilities.
In this chaotic lifestyle, many of us feel disconnected, demotivated, exhausted, isolated and lose a sense of who we are.
Self-esteem, confidence and self-worth start to deteriorate.
Issues include:
Career Stress
Boundary Setting
Burnout
Immigration Struggles
Intergenerational Conflicts
Parenting
Relationships
Work-life Balance
Within therapy, we begin the process of assessing the impact of Anxiety, Depression and/or Trauma on your daily life. Talking about what you are thinking; how you are feeling and behaving are areas that are explored. Treatment goals are collaboratively set to overcome your concerns.
This could entail coping strategies that resonate with you, equip you with new skills or strengthen existing ones such as communication, problem solving or assertiveness.
The entire approach is guided by your unique lived experiences and takes into consideration cultural factors such as ethnicity, religion, gender and sexual orientation.
Taking the first step towards living a meaningful and fulfilling life is a reflection of the values that make us who we are!
Therapy for Older Adults
Anxiety, Depression and Trauma presenting in older adults require a thorough understanding. Adults over the age of 60 years necessitate an approach that is highly supportive and helpful.
Areas of struggle include:
Adjustment to Lifestyle & Role Changes
Grief
Medical Health
Retirement
Relationships with Children
Life Transitions
Older adults bring to therapy enriched lived experiences and life lessons. Making efforts to incorporate these aspects in therapy is important. I adopt a holistic approach wherein we assess not only the psychological and physical areas but also the social and environmental factors operating in your life. Based on your needs we customize therapy. This could entail regulating emotions, identifying tools to adapt, managing expectations, utilizing time meaningfully, communicating effectively and harnessing support systems.
As you navigate this stage of your life, remember to recognize and celebrate life's achievements in addition to creating memorable experiences in the present.
