Therapy for Young Adults
Young adulthood can bring big transitions—new responsibilities, shifting relationships, and questions about identity and direction. Therapy offers a supportive space to process these changes, reduce stress, and build confidence for the future.

Counseling Services for Young Adults
At Catherine Alvarado, LMFT & Associates, we understand that being a young adult often comes with both exciting opportunities and unique challenges. We support young adults throughout Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, and the greater South Bay with therapy that is tailored to this important stage of life. Whether you are navigating college, stepping into the workforce, or finding your place in the world, therapy can provide the clarity and confidence you need to move forward.
We provide therapy services for:
Young Adults navigating independence and life transitions
College Students balancing academic pressures and personal growth
Emerging Professionals managing career challenges and identity development
Building Confidence and Emotional Resilience
Young adulthood is a time of transition. It may include moving out on your own, making choices about school or work, shifting relationships, and adjusting to greater independence. These changes can be exciting, but they can also bring stress, anxiety, or feelings of uncertainty. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to reflect, talk things through, and develop tools to manage challenges with greater ease.
Sessions may focus on managing anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or relationship struggles, as well as navigating family changes, school or job stress, and the ups and downs of independence. Therapy can also help young adults explore identity, build confidence, and strengthen resilience for the future.
Our goal is to help young adults feel grounded, capable, and supported as they face big decisions and new responsibilities. By developing healthy coping strategies and fostering self-awareness, therapy can empower young adults to move forward with balance, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
THERAPY ISN’T ABOUT HAVING IT ALL FIGURED OUT
It’s about having space to figure it out as you go.
