Graduated… But Still Feel Stuck
Therapy for young adults feeling lost after college in New York and NYC
When the Future Isn’t as Clear as You Hoped
You did everything you were supposed to do. You got the degree, maybe even landed a job, but instead of feeling proud or excited, you're overwhelmed, confused, and second-guessing everything. You’re not where you thought you’d be. Or maybe you don’t even know where that is.
This isn’t what you imagined post-grad life would feel like.
What This Might Feel Like
-
You’re scrolling job boards but nothing feels right
-
You have a job but still feel unfulfilled, restless, or stuck
-
You’re comparing yourself to others and feeling behind
-
You keep wondering, What am I doing with my life?
-
You feel pressure to have it all figured out but don’t know where to start
-
You feel disconnected from yourself or the goals you used to have
This can be especially hard when no one around you seems to get it, or when you don’t even know how to put it into words.
Why This Happens
College gives structure, deadlines, and a built-in identity. After graduation, it can feel like you were pushed off a ledge without a map. Suddenly you’re expected to make big decisions, support yourself, and somehow be sure of who you are, all at once.
Add in family expectations, student debt, mental health struggles, or pressure to "make something of yourself," and it's no wonder many young adults feel stuck after graduation.
This isn’t a personal failure. It’s a common experience, especially for those trying to find purpose in a world that moves fast and rarely pauses for reflection.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy gives you a place to slow down and actually make sense of what you're feeling. Together, we’ll:
-
Clarify your values, goals, and strengths
-
Work through the anxiety, self-doubt, or grief that comes with transition
-
Explore what you really want (not just what’s expected)
-
Build confidence and direction that feel grounded and sustainable
-
Learn tools for managing stress, comparison, and indecision
I offer a range of services tailored to your needs, including EMDR to address lingering patterns or past experiences, and art therapy as a way to explore your emotions when words aren’t enough. Whether you're in New York or anywhere in NYC, virtual therapy gives you access to support wherever you are.
