South Asian Identity
Culturally-sensitive, multicultural, virtual therapy for our South Asian clients - adolescents, adults, and women.
You often feel like you are stuck between two or more different worlds or you find yourself drained from fighting conflicting values and expectations. You dance between these worlds, often being made to feel culturally inadequate or lacking in some way. It’s exhausting trying to fit in! It can be a struggle to truly feel comfortable with your own identity and feel a sense of belonging. We can help you to find validation in your experience and celebrate your strengths and uniqueness while providing you with a sense of community and support that you need to thrive.
