If Your Teen/Young Adult Child Is Experiencing:

• Anxiety, sadness, stress, low self-esteem, loss of sense of self;
• Micro-aggressions and discrimination, fueled by ’model minority myth,’ ‘perceptual foreigner’ stereotype, and xenophobia;
• Weight of intergenerational trauma and relational patterns from their family of origin;
• Difficulty in navigating an individualistic society while raised in a culture that values collectivism;
• The hardship of cultural assimilation and challenges in cultural identity;
• Loneliness and isolation, fueled by shame or guilt in embracing and expressing their inner experiences;
• Overwhelming external or internal expectations and pressure “to be enough.”

And Your Teen/Young Adult Child Wants: 

• A non-judgmental, safe space to experience, process, and navigate life’s past and present moments;
• To be seen, heard, and understood by someone with shared life experiences;
• Support in finding their authentic self, values, and beliefs with compassion and kindness;
• To tend to their mental health and emotional well-being – taking a brave stand against stigma and taboo;
• To work with a therapist who will provide culturally sensitive therapy,  with interest and respect for their unique culture and experiences;

There's a wonderful option available to support your teen/young adult child.
