For adults 18–29 · Maryland telehealth
Figuring out who you are, and what you actually want.
Serious, structured therapy for young adults across Maryland by video. Identity, career direction, relationships, and the pressure of building a life that is genuinely yours.
Young adulthood gets flattened in a lot of writing about it. It is treated either as a delightful open runway or as a crisis of confused twenty-somethings. In real practice it is neither: it is one of the most consequential decision-making stretches of a life, and it deserves therapy that takes it seriously.
C-G Health works across Maryland through secure video with adults roughly 18 to 29, in English or French.
The four questions of this decade
Identity: the honest work of separating what you have been told you are from what you actually feel, want, and value. This shows up as a background disquiet, as trouble making decisions that feel like they land, or as the sense that other people know something about being themselves that you missed the memo on.
Career direction: not the LinkedIn story of it, but the actual internal one. What kind of life you want work to make possible. How much identity to invest in a job. How to tell drive from anxiety, ambition from other people's expectations. How to make a real choice when several paths look plausible.
Romantic relationships: patterns of attachment, the gap between the relationships you want and the ones you keep having, the way early family life is quietly shaping who feels like home. This is where schema therapy tends to be especially useful.
Financial stability: the very real weight of building a base without generational wealth or a clear map. The anxiety of it, the shame that often rides alongside, and the way money conversations tangle with worth and identity.
The therapeutic frame
The work is structured and active, not open-ended venting. Sessions move between concrete decision work (the actual choices in front of you) and pattern work on the shapes underneath. Cognitive behavioral tools help with anxiety and low mood. Schema therapy addresses the early frames that keep firing in adult decisions. Psychodynamic depth is available where the deeper questions warrant it.
The tone is warm and direct. There is no pretending you should have this figured out already; there is also no romance about how figuring it out is optional.
First-generation, immigrant, and bilingual clients
The bilingual capacity of the practice matters especially in this life stage. For young adults from immigrant families, or those navigating between more than one culture, sessions in either English or French, or a natural mix, often reach material that stays underground otherwise.
Is this a fit?
An honest word about the work.
You'll likely get the most from this work if you are:
- Young adults across Maryland aged roughly 18–29
- Professionals in the early stretch of their careers who want structure and depth
- First-generation, immigrant, and bilingual young adults navigating multiple cultural frames
The work asks for:
- Consistent attendance: this is not once-a-quarter work
- Willingness to work on patterns, not only on the current problem
- Practice between sessions in real decisions, not only conversation
