Individual Therapy Specialities

Therapy for Generational Trauma:

Therapy for individuals who are looking to work through, process, and heal from unhealthy or dysfunctional family patterns or effects from childhood and upbringing. Generational trauma can look like navigating feeling like you are carrying the weight and expectations of your family, people pleasing, anger issues, substance use, or being expected to parent your siblings, to name a few. Generational trauma, or trauma passed through generations can be passed through genes, as well. If your great grandmother, grandmother or mother, for example, have experienced hardship, there is a chance that you can be experiencing the effects of the trauma or hardship they experienced. This can look like the trauma from Partition of India or experiencing poverty , drastic overseas moves or domestic violence, just as examples. Who we are as adults is largely determined by our upbringing and childhood but it is also something we have the power and autonomy to change as adults!

Therapy for Bicultural Identity:

Therapy for individuals who are navigating what it means to be a person of color in America and what a beautiful but intricate experience it is. This can look navigating a "double identity", difficulties of navigating cultural expectations but assimilating to American culture as an immigrant or child of immigrants or not being "culturally enough" (such as not Indian enough) and not feeling like you belong. Being a child of immigrants also can come with its own added or unsaid pressures along with behaviors such as perfectionism, people pleasing, poor self esteem and self criticism.
