Doing Well… But Still Not Okay
Online Therapy for Young Adults in New York
You're Functioning, But You Don’t Feel Like Yourself
You’ve checked the boxes: job, education, responsibilities. You keep moving through your day. But underneath it all, something feels off. You might feel numb, disconnected, or tired in a way that rest doesn’t fix. You’re not falling apart, but you’re also not okay.
Maybe it’s hard to explain to anyone else. You’re holding it all together on the outside while struggling to feel present, motivated, or emotionally grounded.
At Lenora: Art Therapy and Counseling, I work with young adults across New York who appear to be functioning but feel emotionally stuck. Even when life looks fine on the outside, it can feel heavy inside.
You Might Be Feeling:
-
Emotionally numb or disconnected from your life
-
Tired all the time, even if you're sleeping
-
Out of sync with your own feelings or identity
-
Easily overwhelmed by small tasks
-
Like you’re going through the motions but not in them
-
Lost in your head or zoning out without realizing it
This isn’t failure. It’s a signal from your nervous system that something needs care, not pushing.
Using a mix of art therapy, EMDR, and somatic-based tools, we explore what’s underneath the surface. Therapy helps you stop operating on autopilot and start feeling more present, supported, and emotionally clear.
Why This Might Be Happening
When your nervous system is overloaded or constantly in “survival mode,” you can end up feeling shut down, even if nothing’s technically wrong. Life transitions, unresolved emotions, or past experiences can all contribute.
Many young adults know this feeling: having to stay strong for too long, without space to fall apart, leading to quiet disconnection.
How Therapy Can Help
Therapy gives you space to reconnect with yourself without pressure to perform or explain everything right away. It’s a place to slow down and tune into what’s actually going on beneath the surface, especially if you’ve felt emotionally off for a while.
Together, we can:
-
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
-
Use art therapy and somatic tools to access emotions that feel blocked or hard to name
-
Incorporate EMDR if past patterns are contributing to your disconnection
Why Work With Me
As a therapist who specializes in young adult mental health, I understand how confusing it can be to feel emotionally off when life looks fine on the outside. You're not broken or being dramatic. You might be carrying more than you realize or feeling disconnected without knowing why.
You deserve support that helps you slow down, understand what’s happening inside, and feel more connected to yourself again.
You Don’t Have to Stay Disconnected
Whether you’re feeling off, emotionally numb, or unsure what’s missing, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself in a way that feels real and sustainable. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a clear reason to ask for support.
