Marcella DeAngelis | Trauma Therapist for Young Adults | NY
Mental Health Counselor- Graduate Intern
Therapy for Young Adults Healing From Childhood & Relationship Trauma
You might be the one everyone thinks has it together but internally, you feel like you’re constantly overthinking, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of who you really are.
Maybe you:
Grew up in a chaotic, critical, or emotionally unavailable home
Learned to be “the responsible one” or the people-pleaser
Stay in relationships longer than you should
Feel disconnected from your body or emotions
Swing between wanting closeness and wanting to disappear
Are hyper-aware of everyone else’s needs but ignore your own
You may be in college, starting your career, or navigating adult life but STILL feel like your past is quietly running the show.
And no matter how much you “understand” your patterns, you still feel stuck repeating them.
Most of my clients want a life that feels:
- Emotionally safe instead of chaotic
- Confident instead of second-guessing everything
- Authentic instead of shaped around other people’s expectations
They don’t want to just cope anymore. They want to finally feel like themselves not who they had to become to survive.
How I Help
In our work together, we won’t just talk about what’s wrong.
We’ll work on:
- Understanding how your early experiences shaped your nervous system
- Identifying emotional triggers and relationship patterns
- Learning how your body holds stress and trauma
- Building real tools to regulate emotions and feel safer in yourself
- Reconnecting to your identity, values, and inner voice
Therapy becomes a space where you don’t have to perform, explain yourself, or minimize your experiences just show up as you are.
Who This Is For
This may be a good fit for you if you:
- Are a young adult navigating a major life transition
- Have a history of childhood or relationship trauma
- Feel emotionally stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed
- Struggle with people-pleasing, self-doubt, or attachment issues
- Want both insight and practical tools
- Are ready to invest in yourself and your healing
