One of the major issues that comes up in late adolescence and early adulthood is that of identity. People in your life start asking questions about who you are and what you want to do for the rest of your life. Perhaps this is a question you don’t have an answer to yet. Perhaps your situation is made more complicated by your family obligations, career, or history. If this sounds like you, then you would likely benefit from short-term individual therapy. It can give you time to explore what you want in life, as well as learn to appreciate your strengths and the things that are going well in your life.
You and your therapist can explore your strengths and weaknesses, find out what is really important to you, and make plans for the future. Then, you can work with your therapist to put your plans into motion and address the obstacles between you and your goals; for example, you can build the skills you need to manage difficult interpersonal relationships or more effectively cope with stress.
