At Inner Voice Therapy, our individual therapy sessions provide a supportive environment for South Asian, Asian, Arab, Persian, Black, people of color, and inter-racial individuals to explore and understand themselves better. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, cultural confusion, or self-doubt, our compassionate therapists are here to guide you through the process of self-discovery.
Your parents’ voices echo in your mind, telling you to be “grateful” and “not complain.” This ongoing dialogue tells you you’re “overreacting”, being “too sensitive”, or even making up your struggles, which makes you believe that YOU are the problem. You’ve lost that solid sense of identity; feeling like you never truly belong anywhere. Dealing with these thoughts doesn’t just make healing tough; it can feel impossible. This can lead to self-doubt, experiencing toxic shame and constant self-invalidation. These obstacles affect your relationships, whether you’re with someone from your own culture or not.
By working collaboratively with your therapist, you will learn to untangel the complexity of your intercultural identity, manage cultural narratives and your past traumas you grew up with, and strengthen your sense of self without feeling toxic shame and guilt. Our aim is to give you the skills and plans to deal with life's problems in a way that fits you and what you believe in. This way, you can feel more calm and content with who you are.
If you're ready to accept that you deserve to feel better, book a free phone consult or reach out to our client-care team.
