EMERGING ADULT TRANSITION SUPPORT
Guiding Emerging Adults Toward Independence and Confidence
The transition into adulthood can feel overwhelming — both for young adults and for the people who care about them. Whether someone is navigating college decisions, struggling with executive functioning, adjusting to independent living, exploring identity, or feeling unsure about what comes next, this stage of life can bring significant uncertainty and pressure.
At Verge, our Emerging Adult Transition Support services are designed to help young adults build confidence, structure, life skills, and direction in a way that feels supportive, personalized, and realistic.
Meet Your Emerging Adult Transition Specialist
Kate Enicks provides one-on-one coaching, guidance, and real-world support to help emerging adults clarify goals, strengthen life skills, and take consistent steps toward greater independence.
Kate began her career as an educator in Philadelphia before earning her Master’s Degree in School Counseling from Villanova University. She later worked as a school counselor and vocational counselor supporting neurodivergent adolescents and young adults in therapeutic educational settings.
Her approach combines practical skill-building with compassionate support, helping clients move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.

FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS
Supporting an emerging adult can feel emotionally exhausting, confusing, and isolating. Many parents feel unsure how much support to provide, when to step in, or how to help without creating more conflict or dependence.
Our work helps bridge the gap between support and independence.
We work directly with young adults while also helping families feel more informed, supported, and hopeful about the process. Progress may not always happen quickly, but meaningful growth often begins with consistency, trust, and small achievable steps over time.
