They Bought Homes, We Bought Coping Skills: The Millennial Mental Health Gap

Feeling Burnt Out, Behind, or Just Stuck? It’s Not Just You.

Being a millennial today means juggling pressure from every direction: career goals, financial stress, relationship dynamics, and the endless scroll of comparison on social media. You’re doing your best to keep up but it feels like it’s not enough.

Why Does Success Feel So Much Harder Now?

You probably ldoing everything “right”- getting degree(s), showing up at work, being thoughtful in your relationships but somehow, things still feel off. Compared to past generations, buying a home, building a career you love or even just feeling “settled” can feel far out of reach. The milestones that once defined adulthood are either delayed, redefined or feel impossible in today’s world. The result? A generation that feels defeated.

The problem? There are so many larger issues at play that can’t all be solved right way. There is, however, therapy that can can help you zoom out, quiet the self-doubt and feel more grounded in who you are whether or not life looks how you thought it would by now.

Burnout Has Become the Default

Constantly trying to prove your worth, push through exhaustion, or keep up appearances isn’t just unsustainable, it’s harmful. Rest often comes with guilt and asking for help can feel like failure. If you’ve noticed your anxiety increasing or your motivation dipping, it might be time to reassess how much you’re carrying alone.

In therapy, we’ll work together to create space for you to slow down, unpack what’s really going on and move toward a life that feels lighter and more manageable.

Comparison Culture and the Pressure to Have It All

Social media doesn’t just connect us it also keeps us in a loop of “not enough.” Seeing friends or peers seemingly thriving while you feel stuck can create shame, imposter syndrome and the belief that everyone else has it figured out but you.

Therapy offers something social media can’t: a nonjudgmental space to be honest, reflect, and reconnect with what actually matters to you.
