Stuck, anxious, and behind your peers?
You don’t have to stay stuck. Therapy is a safe place to untangle what feels heavy and start building a way forward.
Being in your 20s can feel like a constant comparison game. Everyone else seems to be moving forward, while you’re still trying to figure out what’s next.
With Samantha Hawkins, Registered Psychotherapist in Barrie, ON
Why It Feels So Hard Right Now
“Everyone else my age has it figured out but me.”
“I compare myself to people online and feel like I’ll never measure up.”
“I want to change, but I don’t even know where to start.”
“Anxiety makes even simple things feel overwhelming.”
These thoughts don’t define you. They’re signs you’re carrying more than you should have to carry alone.

If you’re a parent watching your son or daughter struggle, you don’t have to wait for them to figure it out on their own. Many parents book the first session — it’s normal, and it can make all the difference.
