you've graduated college now what?
Exploring, questioning, adjusting, struggling. No matter where you are in your post-grad journey, you're not alone.

Graduating opens a new chapter, but it can also bring uncertainty. Our group offers a space to continue your growth and find clarity as you are transitioning into post-grad life. You'll connect with peers who are also asking, "Now what?" and "How do I move forward?"
In addition to meaningful conversation, we provide practical coping strategies and resilience-building skills to help you thrive.
Navigating life after graduation
It’s normal to feel uncertain, and sometimes your friends or family may not fully understand. In our group, an experienced therapist will guide discussions, encourage peer support, and validate your experiences. You’ll have the chance to explore your feelings in a supportive, non-judgmental space and gain valuable insights from others in the same transition.

You Might Benefit From Group Therapy for College GRADS If...
Why Group Therapy for Post-Grads?
- Changing friendships, living at home again, or maybe realizing this first job out of college isn’t for you
- Our group provides a supportive, safe, and empowering environment where you and your peers can express your feelings
- No one gets it like someone who's living it too… This time can feel isolating, but connecting with peers who are going through the same experience can help you feel supported and understood
Our goal at Manhattan Wellness for this group is for you to walk away feeling seen, heard, and understood.
You might feel uncertain at this moment, but you will leave group therapy each week knowing that you're not alone.
- There’s no one "right" way to navigate post-grad life — your journey is valid, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
- Join us to build connection, find clarity, and embrace this next chapter with confidence.
Together, We Can Figure Out Your Next Steps
At Manhattan Wellness, we know how beneficial it is for our clients to talk through what it means to be entering the "real world” after college and what it really means to be on your own.
- Support Through Change: College gives you independence, but post-grad life brings a new level of responsibility and lack of structure. You don’t have to face it alone.
- Connection with Others: Group therapy allows you to connect with peers who truly understand what you’re going through.
- Coping Strategies: Set meaningful goals, and learn coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and uncertainty.
- Build Confidence: Use group therapy to feel empowered and confident in handling whatever comes your way
Graduate with Confidence
College is a time for growth, learning, and development, but that doesn't have to stop at graduation. Joining our group will give you the opportunity to continue that growth and learn to prepare for your post-grad life. It also gives you a community where you are surrounded by peers who are also thinking, "Now what?" and "How do I balance it all?". Meaningful conversation is a big part of group work, but it's not all we offer. We also provide education on coping strategies and resilience building skills to help you thrive in your new chapter and beyond.
Your friends who have been certain from the start might not understand your doubts and concerns. Even your family who have been supportive of you through college might not get why you're feeling anxious about the future now. In group therapy, the group will be facilitated by an experienced therapist who will encourage peer support, normalize and validate what you are going through, and give open and honest feedback to all the members. You'll have the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental space and gain insights from others who are also experiencing the same transition. It's a unique form of support that can provide immense comfort during this time of uncertainty.
THERE'S NO MANUAL FOR LIFE AFTER GRADUATION, AND NO TWO JOURNEYS ARE THE SAME. BUT HAVING A GROUP WHO UNDERSTANDS CAN HELP YOU DO MORE THAN JUST GET THROUGH THE UNCERTAINTY—YOU CAN ACTUALLY EMBRACE IT.
You'll build a support network outside your college circle, strengthening self-esteem and confidence as you navigate the challenges of becoming a young professional.
The group will focus on common post-grad issues like finding a job, managing relationships, and adjusting to adulthood, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and find solutions together.
Never feel alone - connect with others just like you.
WHEN AND WHERE IS OUR GROUP THERAPY FOR post-grads?
- Our Group Therapy for College Students sessions run weekly for an hour and are currently being held virtually via secure video conferencing. We want to make therapy as convenient and flexible as possible so that you can join sessions from the comfort of your home or office.
- Life gets busy, and we totally get that, so it’s okay if you can’t make every session. That said, showing up consistently is key to getting the best out of your therapy journey. Group therapy works best when everyone is engaged and committed to the process.
- We also believe that group size matters when it comes to creating a safe, supportive space. That’s why we keep our groups small—just 8-10 people max. This way, everyone gets plenty of time to share, connect, and feel heard in a meaningful way.
