“Exploring what I loved sparked something in me I never even knew was there! Now I have the confidence to pursue it.” In honor of Mental Health and Trauma Awareness Month we’re highlighting Tanya, an aspiring entrepreneur and new clinical case study, showcasing what’s possible when young adults develop the fundamental skills they need to thrive long-term. Tanya came to The Dorm as a self-proclaimed "high achiever" quietly dealing with trauma and burnout but determined to finish her graduate program. Through weekly CPT therapy and executive function coaching, Tanya built the skills she needed to graduate alongside her friends and start a new business all on her own. Today, she remains an active part of the alumni community and serves as an alumni mentor, believing in the power of “giving back” all she was given through care at The Dorm. 📹 Watch Tanya’s Journey: https://lnkd.in/ePnFbN3R ⭐ Discover our newly released 2025 Outcomes & Impact Report: https://lnkd.in/eu42YtAu
