Failure to Launch Therapy Available in Warren, RI

Transitioning into adulthood can feel overwhelming. For many young adults, challenges such as anxiety, low confidence, lack of direction, or difficulty managing responsibilities can create a sense of being “stuck.” This experience—often referred to as failure to launch—can lead to frustration, shame, and strained family relationships. At Carein Counseling, we provide supportive failure to launch therapy for young adults in and around Warren, Rhode Island, helping them build independence, confidence, and a clearer path forward. 

What Is Failure to Launch Syndrome?

Failure to launch syndrome is not a diagnosis, but a term used to describe young adults who struggle to transition into independent adult roles. This may look like: 

  • Difficulty maintaining employment 

  • Avoiding higher education or career steps 

  • Relying heavily on parents for daily needs 

  • Feeling paralyzed by fear of failure 

Common causes include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, perfectionism, low self-esteem, or a lack of life skills and structure. In many cases, the young adult wants to move forward but feels overwhelmed or unsure how to begin. 

Overcoming Failure to Launch Syndrome with Therapy 

Failure to launch therapy focuses on understanding the underlying barriers that are preventing growth and helping young adults develop practical tools for independence. Therapy can support goal setting, emotional regulation, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. It also helps address unhelpful thought patterns, fear of failure, and avoidance behaviors that often maintain the cycle of stuckness. Over time, therapy can foster motivation, accountability, confidence, and a stronger sense of personal identity, making adulthood feel more manageable and achievable.
