Just Too Much
GROUP THERAPY FOR ANXIOUS & OVERWHELMED YOUNG ADULTS IN COLORADO
Being a young adult today can feel like you’re constantly being pulled in every direction - where there’s always too much weighing on your shoulders. Too many expectations. Too much pressure to succeed. Too many voices telling you what you should be, all while you’re trying to figure out who you are and what you want out of life. It’s no wonder so many young adults, just like yourself, feel like it’s just too much to handle.
Maybe you’ve been told you’re too sensitive or that you’re overthinking things. Perhaps you find yourself stuck in an endless thought spirals, hyper-focusing on your flaws or what went wrong in a social situation. And even though you might be surrounded by people, it feels like no one really sees or understands what you’re going through. The anxiety, the self-doubt, the fear of criticism, the struggle just to keep up - it’s a constant, exhausting game of tug-of-war, pulling you in every direction. And when we’re caught in the middle? Well, it’s easy to feel like it’s just too much to handle by yourself. That’s where our group Just Too Much comes in.
This weekly therapy group is for young adults ages 18-24 years old who are tired of feeling inadequate, overwhelmed by life’s pressures, and lost in the shuffle. Whether you struggle with social anxiety, have trouble maintaining relationships, or find it hard to manage the expectations and uncertainties of adulthood, this group is a space where you can finally know - you don’t have to go through it all alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where a group of people come together under the guidance of a trained therapist to practice community healing and caretaking. For us at Interfaith Bridge, we describe group therapy as a safer space for teens and young adults to practice therapeutic skills and social bravery alongside a community of people their age.
Humans, especially young people, need other people. When we have other people who understand what we’re going through and why, we are happier, healthier, and ultimately, more capable. This is because positive, in-depth community relationships, help us:
• Encourage a more hopeful perspective through story sharing, validation, and appreciation
• Recognize that we are not alone in our lived experience and that there are other people who have been through or are experiencing a similar situation
• Learn new ways to express and talk about feelings, thoughts, and sensations
• Feel a sense of belonging to a community
• Build self-esteem through the experience of helping support others, which in turn, develop adaptive coping skills
• Understand how to accept and model accountability for one’s own behavior
• Have psycho-education around emotional challenges and learning factual information
Through group therapy here at Interfaith Bridge Counseling, young adults are given the unique opportunity to explore and discover exactly who they are, who they want to be, and what it’s like to have a community that supports them through it all.

We use the word interfaith because to us, it means the exploration and bridging of various beliefs, values, traditions, cultures, and/or faiths. This is something that we believe all people can relate on, regardless of how they do or do not identify. When we work with people as a whole for who they are and who they aspire to be, this becomes a necessary part of the therapeutic process.
