Young Adults
Introduction to Our individual counseling for Young Adults
Adulthood doesn’t begin with a roadmap. You’re figuring out school, work, relationships, independence—and it’s easy to feel like you’re behind. Maybe anxiety or overthinking keep you stuck. Maybe motivation has disappeared, or the routines that used to work just… don’t anymore.
At Gofman Therapy and Consulting, we help young adults make sense of what’s going on and take steps toward the life they want. Our work blends genuine understanding with clear, actionable strategies—so you can move forward with confidence, not confusion.
What to Expect
At Gofman Therapy and Consulting, we know that every young adult’s struggle looks different. Some are pushing through everyday stress; others are trying to rebuild momentum. Either way, we’ll help you move from feeling stuck to feeling capable.
Finding Your Footing
You’re navigating college, early career choices, or new independence—and it’s overwhelming. You might be managing anxiety, procrastination, or self-doubt that makes every decision feel high-stakes.
In therapy, you’ll:
Build tools to handle stress and uncertainty.
Strengthen focus, motivation, and confidence.
Learn how to balance goals with self-care and boundaries.
Getting Unstuck
You want to make changes, but it’s hard to get started—or stay consistent. Routines fall apart, energy crashes, and even small steps feel big. Maybe you’ve tried to restart before but ended up discouraged.
In therapy, you’ll:
Learn practical structure and accountability tools.
Understand what’s getting in the way of follow-through.
Create momentum through small, sustainable changes.

Our Approach
We listen first—then we help you create a plan.
Our therapists draw from CBT, ACT, ERP, DBT, and other evidence-based techniques to make therapy both supportive and actionable. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and designed to help you start feeling better and doing better, step by step.
Available in-person in Westport, CT, and virtually across Connecticut and Virginia.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a space that helps you understand what’s happening—and a plan to move forward. At Gofman Therapy and Consulting, our mission is to help you find both.
