GONIC - Oftentimes young people are told growing up that they have the world at their fingertips, says psychotherapist Jessica Pinkham, "and it's not always that way."

Pinkham, who just opened LifeBalance Counseling, Coaching and Wellness, said the goal of her recently opened Gonic practice is to give them and others suffering various forms of anxiety, depression and addiction support so that they can take control of their lives and be productive and happy.

Pinkham, who is from Lee but now lives in Rochester, has been a psychotherapist for 18 years and began her own private practice five years ago.

Located at 323 Gonic Road, Pinkham has put together a group of four other clinicians and experts ready to treat many of the most prevalent conditions adversely affecting adolescents, young people and adults.

Besides having specialists in eating and addiction disorders, also on hand are experts able to deal with a host of other emotional problems like anxiety, stress and depression.

Pinkham said one of the major problems young people have is with expectations. They set these high goals and then think they can just attain them, and it's not always that straightforward, she said on Thursday.

"Folks sometimes set unrealistic goals based on perceptions they get from social media that only give a snapshot of life," she added. "They have to learn how to make decisions and problem solve."

She said a diminishing of family support in recent times has also had an effect.

Among the specialties listed on the business' website is "Services for Millennials."

Pinkham said a lot of her business comes from primary care referrals and from her blog which can be seen on the business' website. www.lifebalancecoachnh.com.
