Center for Emerging Adulthood
EXPERT PSYCHOLOGICAL CARE FOR YOUNG AND MID-STAGE ADULTS
– CAMBRIDGE, MA and NEW YORK, NY –
The Center for Emerging Adulthood is a mental health collective composed of experienced professionals, experts in understanding the unique challenges facing young adults.
What we do
We specialize in individual and group psychotherapy, assessment and diagnosis with people suffering from mental health symptoms including anxiety and depression, addiction, trauma, family discord, relationship issues, including with young people presenting with issues common in the LGBTQ community.
Our Clientele
Our patients are typically young and mid-stage adults ( 18 - 40-years-old). Located in the heart of Cambridge, Massachusetts and New York City, we work with many university students and young professors, early career professionals, young families, and others whose lives are in transition.
Our Approach
Our approach is individualized, based on a thoughtful and collaborative assessment of each person’s specific needs. We consider the whole person, body and mind, conscious and unconscious. We meet you where you are at.
Welcome to the Center for Emerging Adulthood
I started the Center for Emerging Adulthood because in my broad experience working with young adults in transition, I became aware of many unmet needs. Times change quickly — the needs of young adults today are frequently minimized and marginalized.
In my work with young adults and other people in transition, I began to see the need for a Center that would focus seriously on this life stage and its unique developmental challenges. Like the hinge of a door, so much later development pivots on the way this early adult transition is navigated.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in the treatment of adolescents, young adults, and their families. Having worked with all ages, from children to seniors, in a variety of settings (inpatient and outpatient hospital units, a personality disorders program, a juvenile detention center), it wasn’t until my work at college counseling centers that led me to realize helping those in young adulthood is crucial to later development and life satisfaction.
