Therapy for Young Adults in New York City
Support for Anxiety, Depression, School Stress, Early Career Challenges, OCD, ADHD & Relationship Struggles
At Evoke Psychology, we support young adults navigating the intensity, change, and uncertainty that often define this stage of life.
Whether you’re in college, just starting your career, or finding your way through relationships, identity, and independence, you deserve a space that feels grounded, supportive, and truly attuned to what you’re going through.
Our NYC-based team offers therapy that helps you understand yourself more deeply, manage overwhelming emotions, and build a life that feels more steady and aligned with who you are becoming.
NYC Can Feel Overwhelming—You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone
New York brings opportunity, energy, and connection—but it can also amplify stress, pressure, and self-doubt. Many young adults come to us feeling:
Anxious, overstimulated, or always “on edge”
Depressed or emotionally shut down
Pulled between work, school, relationships, and family expectations
Unsure of their direction or identity
Struggling with perfectionism or overwhelming pressure
Distracted, unmotivated, or unable to focus
Caught in cycles of intrusive thoughts or compulsive behaviors
Lonely, misunderstood, or disconnected
Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to figure it out alone. At Evoke Psychology, we meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, compassion, and support.
