Services for Young Adults

Behavioral health services for young adults aged 17 to 25 recognize the unique developmental stage and challenges faced during this transitional period between adolescence and adulthood. Here's an overview of the services offered at Therapy Resources:

Assessment and Screening: Behavioral health providers conduct comprehensive assessments and screenings to identify mental health disorders, substance use issues, trauma history, and other concerns. This may involve interviews, self-report measures, and collaboration with other professionals or family members.

Individual Therapy: Individual therapy sessions offer a confidential space for young adults to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with a trained therapist. Therapists use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), or mindfulness-based techniques to address issues such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions.

Group Therapy: Group therapy provides young adults with opportunities to connect with peers facing similar challenges, share experiences, and learn from one another in a supportive environment. Groups may focus on topics such as stress management, interpersonal skills, mindfulness, substance use, LGBTQ+ support, or coping with academic or vocational stressors.

Substance Use Treatment: Young adults struggling with substance use disorders benefit from specialized treatment programs tailored to their age group. This may include individual counseling, group therapy, relapse prevention strategies, and support services to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Life Skills and Transition Support: Behavioral health services for young adults often include assistance with developing essential life skills and navigating the transition to adulthood. This may involve goal setting, time management, budgeting, job readiness training, educational planning, and accessing community resources for housing, healthcare, and vocational support.

Family Therapy and Support: Family therapy sessions may be offered to address relational dynamics, communication patterns, and family support systems. Involving family members in treatment can help strengthen relationships, improve understanding, and provide additional support for the young adult's recovery and well-being.

Peer Support and Community Engagement: Encouraging young adults to engage in peer support groups, community activities, and recreational or creative outlets can foster a sense of belonging, connection, and social support.

Overall, behavioral health services for young adults aim to empower individuals during this critical period of transition by addressing their unique needs, promoting self-awareness, resilience, and skill-building, and supporting their journey toward independence, well-being, and fulfilling life goals.
