Quater-Life Crisis

A "quarter-life crisis" is real, and incredibly common.

When you're 20-something its common to feel like "you need to have it all together". It becomes a conflict between "wanting it all" and still being able to have peace of mind. These feelings can create issues with self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. The comparison game that we play with ourselves can be so complex we don't always recognize we are doing it.

But, when you start to gain the skills and confidence needed to create a future you can begin to feel excited about. In other words you'll start feeling less stuck, and feel more heard, and challenged with growth.

Because most of time its our own beliefs that limit us, we put our own road blocks between ourselves and others. In going to counseling, and creating awareness of these blocks, we can help encourage and empower ourselves to change. To ultimately create a life worth living.
