CHOOSING A THERAPIST |
|
I understand the ambivalence you may feel in deciding to seek help and from whom you seek help. When you come to me for help, I will honor your beliefs, traditions, and values. My approach is culturally centered, which means I work sensitively and respectfully within the framework of your unique cultural context.
Your culture, societal and familial norms, and your personal beliefs and values influence how you perceive and experience mental and emotional health. Culture shapes your style of coping with stressors and prescribes the supports you have to help you cope. As a woman of color and immigrant, I hold an affirming perspective about your social and cultural identities. |
|
Find the balance between your native and adopted culture that feels true and celebrates your cultural context. Feel a sense of belonging while staying connected to your family and cultural roots.
|
Reestablish intimacy, feel heard, increase understanding. Find the balance between togetherness and separateness so you each feel safe, nurtured and respected in the relationship.
|
When our passions and talents are given a chance to develop and flourish in our work, we feel a deep sense of satisfaction and joy. Reconnect with your career aspirations & cultivate self-confidence and motivation
