I love working with young adults who are in the first few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about life in general
I regularly incorporate psychoeducation as a foundational therapeutic method to support clients in better understanding their mental health conditions, treatment options, and coping strategies
