Therapy for Millennials in East Brunswick, NJ
Millennials, those who were born between 1977 and 2000, have grown up in an age of technology, social media and accessibility. While these advancements have created great opportunity and connections, it has also left many millennials at a loss, often feeling disconnected, overwhelmed and inadequate.
The clinicians at Olive Branch understand that some of those in Generation Y have their own set of mental health issues and need to be understood with their lifestyle and experiences in mind. That’s why we offer therapy that is specifically tailored to those who have grown along such things as college debt, political and natural instability, and online bullying.
