Is it okay to not be okay

in your culture?

It might all be too tricky to navigate - growing up learning that “perfection” is the only option, constantly feeling like a failure. Being your own harshest critic. Struggling with imposter syndrome. Trying to balance between filial piety and setting boundaries for yourself. Navigating values important in your family culture while embracing your own beliefs. Facing the “bamboo ceiling” and the Model Minority Myth. Navigating values between multiple cultures in your marriage/relationship. Figuring out what values and cultural traditions you want to pass down to your next generation, while trying not to pass down the intergenerational trauma you’re too familiar with. Not to mention the blatant racism that has only been worsening in recent years.

We get it, there’s a lot to talk about. Sometimes it might feel easier talking to someone who has a similar background with yours. And no, you don’t need a diagnosis to justify going to therapy.

We want to create a safe space for you.
