Latinx & First-Generation Therapy

Navigating life as a Latinx and first-generation individual often means walking between two worlds — balancing cultural traditions, family expectations, and the pursuit of your own path. While this journey can cultivate incredible strength and resilience, it can also carry unique struggles: feeling like you don’t fully belong anywhere, managing pressure to succeed, or holding the responsibility of supporting loved ones while tending to your own needs.

As a daughter of immigrants, I deeply understand these complexities. In therapy, we create a space where your bicultural identity is not just acknowledged but celebrated. Here, you can unpack the layers of intergenerational expectations, explore identity questions, and work through the stress, anxiety, or guilt that may arise when trying to honor your family while also honoring yourself.

Together, we’ll focus on:

• Embracing and integrating your cultural identity without losing yourself

• Processing the “first-generation pressures” of achievement and responsibility

• Healing intergenerational wounds and family dynamics

• Building confidence in your voice, choices, and boundaries

• Reclaiming your story with pride, resilience, and authenticity

Therapy offers you a place to release what feels heavy, reconnect with your roots in a healthy way, and step into your own definition of success and fulfillment.
