Therapy for Adults

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or struggling with an eating disorder, you might be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of where to turn. Therapy could be a crucial step toward finding relief and clarity.

Is It Difficult For You To Control Your Emotions or Certain behaviors?

It’s common to face challenges like emotional struggles, disconnection, or relationship issues, which can sometimes point to deeper problems like anxiety or depression. With the right therapy and support, you can address these issues and find a path to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Emotional changes appear

You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, feeling isolated and frustrated. Whether you’re in a crisis, facing a major life change, or unsure of why you feel so disconnected, you may long to feel fulfilled, relaxed, and reassured that everything will be okay.

Overwhelm and uncertainty set in

Feeling overwhelmed by current emotions, past regrets, and future uncertainties can be deeply unsettling. You might find yourself ruminating on mistakes or worrying about what could go wrong. Seeking relief through unhelpful behaviors, experiencing constant fatigue or restlessness, and questioning your professional and personal progress can add to your frustration.

Therapy can help

Regardless of your struggles, you may be considering that it’s time to talk to a therapist.

You Are Not Alone

Even in a place as big and active as New York City, so many people feel isolated and alone, especially when dealing with anxiety, depression, and eating and relationship issues. Whether people are talking about it or not, we all bump up against challenges and experience struggles and periods of uncertainty throughout our lives. And, many of us suffer in silence, feeling ashamed and isolated and not seeking help.

New York City is amazing in many ways, but it can also prompt stress and disconnection. With high expectations, intense competition, a high cost of living, and pressure to achieve, many New Yorkers struggle with at least baseline levels of anxiety, bouts of depression, perfectionistic ideals, body image issues and/or disordered eating, underlying anger, and difficulties relaxing. In the city that never sleeps, bombarded by constant stimulation and cultural messaging, we work hard with little time to just be. And, amongst 10 million people, we can still feel disconnected, unsatisfied, and uncertain about what the future holds for us. Add to that an unstable market and an ongoing undercurrent of political, social, and environmental strain, and it’s no surprise that many people are experiencing fear, isolation, and doubt.

The good news is that even if you are feeling depleted, or on edge, it is possible for you to discover what you need to feel contented, confident, connected, and clear. An experienced, compassionate, and skilled therapist can help you work through confusion and distress, connect with your purpose, and tap into the insights and strengths needed to make empowered, thoughtful changes in your life.

You May Have Some Questions About Adult Therapy…

In adult therapy sessions, your MindWell NYC therapist can help you identify and address the points of distress in your life. Whether taking a depression therapy, anxiety therapy, or eating disorder treatment focus—depending on your specific needs—your psychotherapist will help you connect to the present moment and clarify where you are now and where you want to be. Essentially, the focus is on identifying what it is that you need to do to feel better. Your therapist will help you with problem-solving and developing actionable, practical, and effective steps that you can use in any environment in your life.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), your therapist can help you make sense of your current experience and address unproductive thoughts and behaviors. As you develop a heightened awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, you can make changes based on what’s important to you and what you want to cultivate in your life. 

In adult counseling sessions, you and your therapist will also focus on identifying and building on strengths and resources, setting both short and long-term goals, taking actionable steps toward defined goals, and celebrating successes. Through this work, you can develop a better understanding of what you are good at and learn how to best utilize those strengths. Through the adult therapy process, you can learn to live in line with your true values.

As well-educated, thoughtful, cutting-edge, and innovative therapists in NYC, we understand, both professionally and personally, feelings of disconnection, uncertainty, and anxiety. We also know that there is a path forward for everyone. Regardless of the needs, insecurities, compulsive behaviors, or frustrating thoughts you’re struggling with, with trusted support and a willingness to learn new skills, you can affect change in your life. It is possible to get to know yourself better, build resiliency, and live with more confidence, clarity, and ease.

-I’m so busy and approaching burnout, but don’t know how to fit weekly adult therapy sessions into my packed schedule. It’s not uncommon—especially in NYC—for people to sacrifice their mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing in an attempt to prioritize other responsibilities. But, this persistence toward perfectionism inevitably leads to burnout and compounds issues, worries, and fears. In individual therapy sessions—in which you can step away from the noise of the city and dedicate a much-needed hour to yourself—your therapist can help you let go, recharge, and problem-solve. You can develop mindful, practical strategies that allow you to use your time more effectively. A small investment of your time can lead to great rewards.
