FAQ
Common questions
I’m not sure therapy is “serious enough” for what I’m dealing with. Is it still worth it?
Therapy is not only for crises. Feeling stuck, directionless, anxious about the future or disconnected from the people around you are all good reasons to talk with someone. Many young adults use therapy as a place to sort out decisions and patterns before they become bigger problems.
Can I meet online?
Yes. Young-adult therapy is available in person in Huntington Beach and by secure telehealth throughout California, which works well around class and work schedules.
