You're anxious about the future and paralyzed by all the options
You don't know who you are outside of school or your parents' expectations
You're struggling with relationships—romantic, friendships, or family
You feel behind compared to everyone else your age
The pressure to "figure it out" is overwhelming
You're dealing with depression, anxiety, or just a general sense of being lost
You Might Be Here Because...
The transition to adulthood is hard. Everyone expects you to have it together, but no one actually taught you how to do this. You don't have to navigate it alone.

What Therapy Looks Like
We start with a real conversation.
Your free consultation is a chance to share what's going on and see if we click. I want you to feel comfortable, not like you're being evaluated.
You're in the driver's seat.
This is your therapy. We'll focus on what matters to you, not what your parents think you should work on or what you think you "should" care about.
Telehealth Session.
We'll meet weekly or biweekly via secure video. Telehealth fits into your life wherever you are: dorm room, apartment, or your childhood bedroom.
Why choose Light Minds?
I Get This Stage of Life
I work with teens and young adults regularly. I understand the unique pressures of this in-between phase. You're not a kid, but "adult" doesn't quite fit either.
Autonomy & Confidentiality
As an adult (18+), your therapy is completely confidential. You decide if and how your parents are involved.
Practical & Action-Oriented
I'm not going to just listen for 50 minutes. I'll help you understand what's keeping you stuck and give you concrete strategies to move forward.
