Therapy For Your Unique Needs
"She said she's a millennial therapist.....What even is that anyway?"
We believe millennials have unique therapy needs. Millennials are the demographic cohort with starting birth years in the early 1980s and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years. The central difference between millennials and previous generations is how they communicate. This generation deserves a tailored approach and therapists who are able to relate to young adults’ concerns others might dismiss. We meet people where they are, not try to change them.
Millennials often enter therapy rolling their eyes at their own problems, and saying “I know this is something stupid for me to be feeling and worrying about”. Our Millennial specialists know there is hope for this generation and are dedicated to working through anxieties and fears to help individuals build lives they love!

Common Millennial Issues We Treat:
- 25-40y/o-life crisis & uncovering the real you
- Feeling lost, and seeking passion, fulfillment, or happiness
- Fear of making the wrong life choices & fear of missing out
- Economic uncertainty & student debt
- Transitioning to new roles: career, parenting, marriage, etc...
You don’t necessarily need to be experiencing most of all of these symptoms to be suffering from anxiety. Even just having three or more of these symptoms may indicate that you have an anxiety-related issue.
The Struggle Is Real
If you’re feeling stuck, judged, under immense pressure, or struggling with insecurity, you’re not alone! Millennials are facing a unique amount of psychological challenges. After all, we’re living in an age of instant information, external validation, and pressure to succeed.
It’s no wonder many people in this generation are feeling overwhelmed and anxious.
Unemployment or Underemployment
Millennials are the most diverse and educated generation yet, but that also means that a college degree can feel like it’s worth the same as a high school degree. Because there’s a large supply of educated people in the workforce, about a quarter of millennial college graduates are unemployed or underemployed. And U.S. census data shows that 40 percent of those who are unemployed in America are millennials.
Unemployment or underemployment can cause real psychological stress. One in five millennials experiences on-the-job depression, as compared to 16 percent of those in generation X or baby boomers. If you’re struggling with depression, counseling services can help. Contact us today in Wilmington to get started.
Burdened With Student Debt
Many of the millennials who come into our counseling center are feeling crushed by their student loan debt. Know that it’s not your fault — college tuition has more than doubled since the 1980s, and student loan debt is at an all-time high.
Challenges Building Wealth
While millennials are burdened with student loan payments, home prices are on the rise, and millennials buying their first home will pay 39% more than baby boomers (adjusted for inflation). At the same time, non-homeowning millennials are using what money they have to pay for soaring rents.
Millennials are at risk at becoming a “lost generation” for wealth accumulation, and this financial stress has real mental health consequences. If you feel like you just can’t get ahead, counseling services may help. We specialize in helping millennials deal with the anxiety and depression that comes from financial stress, and our Wilmington therapists can help you too!
Struggling to Follow Your Passions
Millennials have been pegged as “entitled, selfish, and immature” by older generations. After all, you grew up being told you were going to change the world — all while having a career, finding a home, and fulfill the expectations set out for you.
Many of our patients come to us feeling overwhelmed by obligations. You want to follow your passions, but you’re up against constant rejection. You try to take vulnerable risks, but it’s just not working out. On top of that, larger social issues like racism, politics, climate change, and the economy are constantly in the back of your mind.
There’s just so much to care about, and it can leave you feeling paralyzed. If you’re struggling, our millennial therapists can help. Contact Clarity Counseling Center in Wilmington today to get started.
