Students and Young Adults
Therapy for Students and Young Adults in Washington, D.C.
Young adulthood is a time of tremendous change. While it is an exciting period, it is very common to feel fearful and unsteady amidst major life changes. At Dr. Emma Basch & Associates, we understand these challenges and are here to help. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and relational-based psychotherapies, our therapists are well-equipped to help you ride through the bumps, cultivate acceptance, and experience the relief and joy that springs from making values-aligned, meaningful life changes.
Specialized Therapy for College and Graduate Students
Several of our therapists have extensive experience working in university mental health settings and have a deep understanding of the pressures of higher education and the mental health concerns of students. We utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities in our work with students. Our clinicians are licensed in over 40+ states and provide services in several countries and are thus typically able to work with students whether they are home for the summer, at school, or studying abroad. We are committed to helping you achieve emotional stability and personal growth during your college years.
Supporting Young Adults Through Life Transitions
Transitioning into adulthood comes with many challenges, including transitioning into the working world, relationship challenges, family conflict, and self-esteem concerns.
We provide therapy for life transitions, designed to help you navigate these changes with confidence and resilience. We focus on helping you develop coping strategies, build resilience, and make choices that align with your values.
Therapy for Quarterlife Issues
The transition into adulthood can bring a unique set of challenges often referred to as "quarterlife issues." This period—typically during your 20s and 30s—can involve uncertainty around career direction, relationships, identity, and life purpose. Therapy offers a supportive space to explore these questions, manage anxiety or self-doubt, and build the confidence needed to navigate this formative stage. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking greater clarity, we’re here to help you make sense of the transitions and develop tools for a more grounded and fulfilling future.
Therapy That Travels With You
At Dr. Emma Basch & Associates, we understand that sticking with therapy is difficult, especially for students and young adults who may be traveling between home and school, moving frequently, or studying abroad. Our therapists are licensed in more than 40 states and even provide therapy abroad, allowing for continuity of care no matter where you are. Our therapy model is flexible, offering in-person and virtual support, shifting times when your schedule changes, and designing a therapy cadence that works for your needs and your schedule.
