Young Adult Mental Health Treatment

Medically Reviewed by Bill Brown, LCMHC

Our programs support individuals during a pivotal stage of life marked by transition, self-discovery, and increasing independence. At Confluence, we help young adults slow down, reflect, and develop the tools needed to navigate emotional challenges, build resilience, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Your Process

Where am I? What’s next? How can I move on from this?
At Confluence, our young adult mental health treatment programs in Vermont are guided by experienced clinicians, therapists, and mentors who support you in accessing, learning, and applying the tools needed to navigate current challenges and clarify what comes next. We focus on building practical skills, emotional awareness, and self-understanding to help you move forward with confidence.

Through our comprehensive and holistic approach to health and wellness, young adults learn how to navigate their future individually, in relationship with others, and alongside their families. This collaborative process supports growth, resilience, and long-term mental health stability.

Participants complete Confluence with renewed energy, focus, and a deeper commitment to managing their mental health and cultivating wellness. When you understand where you are and what you need, you are better equipped to adapt to the obstacles and opportunities ahead.

What’s Happening?

People come to Confluence for many reasons. And while no two people’s experiences are exactly alike, participants may be experiencing some of these common themes presently or in their past.

Mental Health

Participants at Confluence are generally experiencing distress from mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and other diagnoses. Mental health may also be suffering from poor sleep, nutrition and activity levels as well as from experiences of trauma and isolation.

School

Academic challenges may be longstanding or participants difficulties finding success may be the result of executive functioning, attentional and/or learning challenges. Almost all recognize their current academic performance is not consistent with their capabilities or past performance.

Family Relationships

Relational and family system challenges are often present in our participant’s lives. Communications may be difficult and relationships are often stressed. Tensions can arise between competing priorities of young adults and their parents, which can sometimes fuel misunderstanding and conflict.

Friends and Social Groups

Young adults coming to Confluence are often seeing peer groups move forward in ways they are not experiencing. Withdraw from and avoidance of friends and social events is a common experience of participants, which can lead to increasing social difficulty and further fuel isolation.

Work

Those considering Confluence often find work environments difficult to navigate. Challenges include managing work relationships and issues of timeliness and accountability. Additionally, attentional challenges, low motivation and engagement are cited as common workplace difficulties.

The Future

Among some of the challenges experienced by participants is a general malaise or dis-ease about the future. Participants are often unsure, lack a direction and may feel they are falling behind. Future-oriented thinking, planning and working toward goals, academic or vocational, often suffer as a result.

Rediscover. Redefine. Reclaim.

Feeling lost can be a good thing. It means an opportunity to find what you’ve been looking for. To rediscover what you want out of life, redefine your goals, and reclaim what’s missing. To go from confusion to clarity.

Our Role is to Join You on this Journey.

If even for a short while, we’re here to support you in your discovery and growth. We understand it won’t always be easy. Every process of change requires effort, introspection and grit. Choosing Confluence shows that you are willing to do the difficult work that young adult mental health treatment requires to grow into your best self.

The team at Confluence helped our son immensely. We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend the program for young adults that are ready and willing to actively engage in making significant progress toward a healthier life.

Quite frankly, our daughter’s transformation at Confluence saved her life. The experience was the most challenging of her life but it has changed her profoundly - she is learning to communicate, know herself and deal with her inner mental self.
