Tampa counseling for 20- and 30- somethings
Adult Therapy for Transitions & Trauma Support
Navigate Change, Heal Old Wounds, and Build a Life You Love
Your 20s and 30s are full of big changes—starting careers, moving cities, forming or ending relationships, becoming a parent, going back to school, buying a home, or simply figuring out who you are..
Even when change is exciting, it can stir up stress, anxiety, or memories of past experiences that feel overwhelming.
At True Wellness Tampa, I help young adults move through these transitions with clarity, confidence, and compassionate support.
Why are life transitions so hard?
Big life changes—even positive ones—are stressful because they shake up your routines and sense of identity.
You might feel:
Lost or unsure about what’s next, even if you “should” feel happy
Anxious or restless, unable to relax or sleep
Sad or stuck, as if you’re grieving the life you’re leaving behind
Triggered by old experiences, noticing memories or emotions you thought were long gone
These reactions don’t mean something is wrong with you. They’re a normal response to the brain’s need for safety and stability.
Understanding Trauma in Everyday Terms
When we hear “trauma,” we often think of catastrophic events.
But trauma can also mean any experience that felt too overwhelming for your mind and body to fully process at the time.
It might be a painful breakup, childhood emotional neglect, growing up in a high-conflict family, a sudden loss, or years of subtle criticism that chipped away at your sense of worth.
These experiences can leave wounds that show up during big life changes—like anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns you can’t quite shake.
You are so tired of surviving and are so ready to be thriving
