Heading off to college is an exciting time that comes with freedom — and a lot of responsibility!

In your new dorm room, no one’s helping you with your laundry, waking you up, or making sure you’ve eaten. You’re fully in charge, and that shift can take some time getting used to.

For many students, especially those who are neurodivergent, living independently for the first time can place real demands on executive function.

Start building these 4 essential life skills now for a smoother transition into college. ✨

“Many clients feel like they’re a square peg in a round hole. We can help them make sense of their experience and build lives that work for their needs.” ✨

In honor of Neurodiversity Awareness Month, we’re handing the mic to our therapist, Allie Neuman, MHC-LP, to share an inside look at the groups and programs that support the 50%+ of our young adult clients who identify as neurodiverse, and what meaningful representation looks like in practice.

Join Allie as she offers a glimpse of her work supporting neurodiverse clients, her city, and what drives her to show up every day. 💜

High school graduation is more than a new academic chapter, it’s someone’s first step into young adulthood. That’s a major transition – and one of life’s most significant.

For the first time, they’re building independence, forming new relationships, and discovering who they are — all outside the familiarity of home.

In this brand new College Guide for High School Graduates, experts at The Dorm share guidance based on 17+ years of insight helping young adults and their families navigate this next chapter.

In honor of Neurodiversity Awareness Month, we’re highlighting Mina — a young adult whose ADHD made it difficult to manage daily tasks, keep up with schoolwork, and envision her future. Over time, those challenges spiraled into anxiety, depression, and substance use.

Recognizing she needed more support, Mina made the decision to defer her first semester of college and prioritize her mental health.

Since graduating from The Dorm, Mina has stepped into a new chapter of her life, taking classes in a field that excites her, growing her executive function skills, and building a life that feels both manageable and meaningful. ✨

“It’s actually fun!”

When traditional talk therapy starts to feel fatiguing or like you’ve hit a wall, sometimes it helps to change it up and move your body 💃.
Movement-based approaches offer a new medium for creative expression and therapeutic healing.

💃 ridDANCE: Our dance movement therapy group encourages young adults to reconnect with their bodies and process trauma.

🕺Capoeira: Adapting traditional Afro-Brazilian martial arts movements, this group creates a space to check your insecurities at the door.

Read more about both groups, and how movement can make treatment fun, at the link in bio 💜

1 in 3 college roommates experience conflict, according to a survey by George Washington University.

No two people share the same habits, schedules, or perspectives, and learning to navigate those differences is a skill. Which is why Amie DiTomasso, LICSW, MPH, and Ladonna Matchett, MA, R-DMT, from The Dorm D.C. headed to NYU to share practical tools for navigating roommate tension and having honest, productive conversations.

Working through hard moments leads to feeling more understood, more confident, and more capable of advocating for yourself. 💜

In honor of Persian New Year, Delaram Saidi, President of The Dorm, shared a message in her own words – a reflection on resilience, connection, and what this time of year means to her:

For over 3,000 years, the Iranian people have celebrated Nowruz – our new year.

Nowruz – which means “new day” – marks many things, including the arrival of Spring. It begins on the spring equinox when day and night are perfectly balanced and the earth awakens again, bringing new life all around.

As a child, Nowruz had always been a time of togetherness, joy, hope and opportunity for new beginnings. This year, like most Iranians, I find myself reflecting on the meaning of this Nowruz. In a time filled with uncertainty, unknown and complex emotions – I return to the essence and intention of Nowruz.

This Nowruz is a reflection of the strength and resilience of the Iranian people, fueled by their hope for a new beginning where the community and culture can flourish in abundance; where the sun will always shine; where prosperity is a daily experience; and where we approach each other with patience and love.

I believe in the power of the Iranian people and those who support them. I believe in a new day for my people.

🤔 Are you noticing patterns of intrusive thoughts, repetitive behaviors, or overwhelming anxiety that may be interfering with daily life? These can potentially be symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Our online quiz is designed for young adults, or their family members, to reflect on symptoms that might be tied to OCD.

Taking this quiz does not serve as a diagnosis, but is a helpful first step in understanding your experience and exploring whether further support might be valuable.

In honor of World Social Work Day, we’re passing the mic to one of our Clinical Supervisors, Karl Fray, LCSW, LICSW, to share a day in his life as a social worker in Washington, D.C., and what it means to show up and support young adults and their families everyday.

Karl, thank you for everything you bring to our community. 💜
