Young Professionals

Introduction to our Individual Counseling for Young Professionals

You’ve done what you were supposed to do—earned the degree, got the job, moved forward—but something still feels off. Maybe you’re anxious all the time. Maybe you’re questioning whether you’re in the right career or relationship. Maybe you’re just tired of feeling like you’re running but not really getting anywhere.

At Gofman Therapy and Consulting, we work with young professionals who are motivated to grow, but feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, stress, self-doubt, or burnout. Our approach helps you reconnect with your goals, strengthen your confidence, and develop the skills to handle life’s uncertainty with more direction and less noise.

How We Help

Real Strategies for Real Challenges

Therapy with us is active, collaborative, and results-focused. We combine evidence-based techniques (CBT, ACT, and ERP) with practical tools for everyday life—so you can make progress that actually sticks.

Common themes we help with:

Anxiety, perfectionism, and imposter feelings
Overthinking or difficulty making decisions
Burnout, career uncertainty, or transitions
Relationship stress and communication challenges
The difficulties of becoming a new parent
Life direction, motivation, and confidence

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need the right framework and

what to expect

Support That Meets You Where You Are

Our first session is a conversation—not a diagnosis. We’ll talk about what’s working, what’s not, and what you want to be different. Together, we’ll outline a plan that blends understanding and action: insight to clarify what’s driving your stress, and strategies to create momentum and change.

Sessions are conversational, goal-oriented, and flexible—available in-person in Westport, CT or virtually across Connecticut and Virginia.

Why It Works

Because understanding is important—but action is what creates lasting change

We don’t believe in endless “talking”. We believe the success of therapy should be measured by the changes you are able to make in your life, not just by how you feel immediately after your session. You’ll leave each session with new perspective and concrete steps to apply between sessions. You’ll build emotional awareness, develop coping skills, and learn to make decisions that align with your values.
