Adulthood doesn’t begin with a roadmap. You’re figuring out school, work, relationships, independence—and it’s easy to feel like you’re behind. Maybe anxiety or overthinking keep you stuck. Maybe motivation has disappeared, or the routines that used to work just… don’t anymore.
At Gofman Therapy and Consulting, we help young adults make sense of what’s going on and take steps toward the life they want—whether that’s through therapy, career coaching, or both. Our work blends genuine understanding with clear, actionable strategies—so you can move forward with confidence, not confusion. We serve clients in-person at our office in Westport, CT, while offering the convenience of telehealth services to clients throughout Connecticut and Virginia.
What to Expect from Therapy for Young Adults in Westport
You don’t need to have it all figured out before you start therapy. Most of the young adults we work with come in feeling some version of the same thing: stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of struggling alone.
Maybe anxiety is running the show—every decision feels high-stakes, and you’re constantly second-guessing yourself. Or maybe the problem is momentum. You know what you want to do, but you can’t seem to make it happen. You start strong, then stall out. Routines fall apart. Motivation disappears.
Whatever’s bringing you in, therapy is a space to figure out what’s actually going on—not just the surface-level stuff, but the patterns underneath. From there, we work on practical tools you can use in daily life: managing stress, building structure, setting boundaries, and getting unstuck without burning out.
Sessions at our Westport office are collaborative and direct. We’ll meet you where you are, help you get clear on what you want, and build a realistic path forward—together.
We also offer virtual therapy for young adults throughout Connecticut and Virginia.
And if the challenge is more about career direction—figuring out what you want to do, navigating a stalled job search, or making sense of a nonlinear path—our career coaching services might be the right fit. Many young adults benefit from both.
What We Help With
In therapy, we help with:
- Anxiety, OCD, and intrusive thoughts
- Perfectionism, procrastination, or burnout
- Low motivation, confidence, or direction

In career coaching, we help with:
- Career indecision and “what do I want to do?”
- Job search strategy and accountability
- Resume gaps and nonlinear career paths
- Post-graduation uncertainty
- Interview prep and professional confidence
Our Approach
Young adulthood isn’t just one challenge—it’s a lot of them at once. That’s why we offer both therapy and career coaching as separate services, each designed to meet you where you are.
Therapy helps when anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional patterns are getting in the way. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches—including CBT, ACT, DBT, and ERP—to help you manage stress, build confidence, and get unstuck from cycles that aren’t working.
Career coaching helps when the issue is direction, momentum, or job search strategy. Whether you graduated without a plan, feel stuck in the wrong role, or don’t know how to explain a gap in your resume, our coaches provide structured support to help you move forward.
Some clients come for one or the other. Some do both—working on anxiety in therapy while building a job search plan in coaching. We’ll help you figure out what makes sense for you.
Available in-person at our Westport, CT office and virtually throughout Connecticut and Virginia.
