How Sensitive, Smart Young Men Benefit from Therapy
Therapy for Teens and Young Men
I work with teen and college-aged young men who are stuck.
Not because they’re lazy, unmotivated, or broken.
But because they’re overwhelmed.
They’re deep thinkers. They’re sensitive. They have big dreams and bright futures.
And yet… they feel lost.
“I Don’t Know What to Do With My Life.”
That’s how so many of them begin.
They come in unsure of who they are, where they’re going, or what really matters.
They’re wrestling with pressure from school, society, family, and themselves.
They might say things like:
“I don’t know what I want to do.”
“I don’t feel like my friends get me.”
“My parents want the best for me, but they don’t understand me.”
“What if I’m the one who doesn’t make it?”
It’s not always said directly. Sometimes it shows up as withdrawal. Sometimes frustration.
But underneath? There’s a fear of being left behind.
A fear of disappointing the people who believe in them.
What They’re Really Looking For
These young men don’t need a diagnosis.
They don’t need to be “fixed.”
They need someone who listens.
Someone who sees them clearly.
Someone who’s been there and respects their journey.
They want a guide, not a savior.
They’re looking for someone who understands what it means to walk through uncertainty and come out stronger, clearer, and more confident.
What I See
I see potential. Even when they don’t.
I see young men who are trying to find their footing in a world that often demands clarity before they’ve had the time or space to discover who they really are.
And I help them:
Get clear on what actually matters to them
Take real, aligned action instead of just following the script
Build confidence from the inside out
Reconnect with their families with more appreciation
Realize they’re not stuck — they’re just learning how to step into who they are
What Parents Need to Know
If you’re a parent reading this and wondering, “Is this the right kind of support for my son?” here’s what I’ll say:
You don’t need to be worried that something is wrong.
In fact, if your son is reflective, curious, and even a little overwhelmed, it means he’s paying attention.
And that’s good news.
What he may need now is a space to talk through the pressure.
To find direction that is truly his.
And someone who sees his individuality, not just his performance.
This Is a Different Kind of Therapy
I don’t offer quick fixes.
What I offer is real connection, strategic support, and a deep belief in who your son is becoming.
If he’s ready, and if you are too, I’d love to support him in taking this next step.
