Therapy for Gen Z and Millennials
Millennials and Gen Zers have lived through unusual times and experience a continuum of stressors, such as economic uncertainty, professional burnout, existential worry, and systemic oppression.
Millennials and Gen Zers usually have worked with a therapist in the past, but not always found the right fit.
When you find a good therapist match, it can make all the difference.
Working with a therapist from similar eras in time helps clients feel safe and supported. This isn’t the case for everyone, but for many, having a Millennial therapist creates opportunities for shared narratives and a sense of mutual knowing.
Therapy can help with:
Career Pressures and Burnout: Learn how to set and maintain work-life boundaries, explore career transitions, and weather a variable job market.
Identity Formation: Curious about who you are and how you show up in the world? Therapy can help explore all parts of you, like your gender, sexuality, and cultural background.
Childhood and Adolescent Trauma: Are there events from your past that feel unresolved? Many folks use therapy to address past trauma from childhood or adolescence, including abuse, neglect, or family dysfunction.
Major Life Changes: Therapy can help you feel grounded and empowered during significant life transitions, such as graduating from college, entering the workforce, or navigating big life milestones.
