Being an “adult” and having it all “figured out” can feel like a lot of pressure. What they don't tell you is the road to adulthood doesn't end when we graduate college... or even in the few years following. The truth is, for many of us it can take well into our 20s and 30s to understand who we are and what we want for ourselves.

 

Our team at The Sterling Group is made up of therapists who get it. We understand today’s unique demands and pressures of being a young adult. We’ve been there ourselves and our expertise is in helping you get unstuck. It is possible to unlearn negative patterns and replace them with new tools to better handle the hard stuff.

How We Can Help

individual-therapy

The challenges of young adulthood often bring a lot of uncomfortable feelings that keep you stuck. We got you. We’ll work together to understand the patterns of emotions and behaviors that don’t serve you, and you’ll learn tangible steps to overcome them. You’ll be on a new path of letting go of unhelpful patterns of emotions and behaviors while replacing them with tools that equip you to manage life’s challenges.

relationship-therapy

Single and feeling pressure to meet someone? In a relationship and thinking about tying the knot? Or, recently married and have some kinks to work out? Dating is hard. Relationships are hard. Even the most solid couples need help with communication and the inevitable struggles that come up in a partnership. Whether or not you’re in a relationship, we can help.

Maybe you’re diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, or maintaining attention and organization have always been tough. And there’s more pressure than ever to be productive in your work and personal life. Anxiety and stress only add to concentration, procrastination, and time management issues. We will help you master concrete skills to overcome challenges getting things done at home, work, or school.

Welcome to The Sterling Group

The only therapy practice for young adults that actually
‘‘gets it.’’

We’re made up of therapists who have been exactly where you are. And we are as goal-oriented and outcomes-driven as the clients we work with. We want you to see early results so you start to see change and gain confidence in yourself and your continued progress.

Therapy doesn’t have to be stuffy or intimidating. Whether meeting virtually or in our office, our priority is to create a space where you feel comfortable and at ease to be yourself.

Maybe you’re ready for change but not sure where to start. We’re here to partner with you and figure out the best path to reach your goals.

Our Values

  • Authenticity

    We’re not just therapists -- we are real people who have real relationships with our clients. True change in the therapy “room” starts with a genuine client-therapist relationship. We are so passionate about what we do because we have been through it ourselves and believe that lived experience allows us to truly understand and connect with the people we work with. Our clients count on us to be real and honest with them, bringing our authentic selves to the therapeutic relationship.

  • Person-First, Holistic Care

    You are a human being, not a symptom or a diagnosis. We believe lasting change happens when you are treated as a whole, unique person, which is why we use a holistic and individualized approach to address all of the overlapping issues you may be facing.

    We will help you make connections between the various areas of your life and how they impact one another. The good news is that this often means addressing one area translates to change in multiple parts of our lives as well.

  • Anti-Racism

    We are dedicated to becoming an anti-racist therapy practice. All of our therapists participate in ongoing anti-racism and cultural responsiveness training. As therapists and humans, we take ownership of our privileges, engage with the discomfort, and actively seek learning and growth.

    We recognize the impact of racial injustice and trauma and strive to create a safe space that centers the needs and strengths of those who have been oppressed and marginalized.

  • Growth

    There is nothing we love more than partnering with our clients as they grow and change. And as much as we value growth for our clients, we know it is just as important for our therapists to grow personally and professionally.

    All of our therapists are or have been in therapy themselves, so they have personal experience being in the other chair. We also engage in ongoing training to ensure we are providing high-quality and cutting-edge treatment to our clients.

  • Inclusion, Equity, & Accessibility

    All people deserve equal access to high-quality, identity-affirming mental health care. We understand therapy can feel especially vulnerable and difficult for those with marginalized identities, and we aim to create a safe, healing space for all. All of our therapists are social justice-oriented, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ allied, and weight-inclusive (Health at Every Size).

    Our mission is to continue playing an active role in the movement to destigmatize mental health issues and therapy. We strive to be an accessible mental health resource for all young adults.

  • Community & Collaboration

    We prioritize creating a community-like experience for both our clients and therapists. The foundation for this is our team of clinicians who love what they do and fostering an environment where they are valued, allowing them to better serve their clients.

    We view therapy as a partnership and use a highly collaborative approach. Our goal is to empower our clients to take active, concrete steps toward change, growth, and healing.

  • Innovation

    This is an era when therapy does not have to be stuffy and old-fashioned. We provide a modern and progressive therapy experience, using evidence-based and innovative treatment approaches, interventions, and technology. We prioritize providing consistent training for our therapists to ensure their continued education and growth as clinicians.
