Therapy for BIPOC Professionals

 

You probably know this story well.

It’s been one of those days, maybe for a couple of months now. You’re stuck, exhausted, unfulfilled and close to burn out. You want change, have tried things on your own, but can’t seem to achieve this despite your best efforts. You may be holding it all together, but feel like you’re falling apart. You are re-examining your work life and wondering what could bring you closer to your ideal work situation. You’re coming to the realization that you’re deeply dissatisfied with your job. If you’re here right now, you’re probably feeling that areas of your life feel out of control. Feeling stuck about your situation and not knowing why or what to do can be a difficult place to find yourself in.

As a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color) professional, first-generation bicultural individual, or immigrant you may be keenly aware that the intersection of your identities and your unique life experiences can impact your mental health and how you show up in this world and in relationships. You may be wondering if personal, familial, societal and cultural barriers are keeping you from living a satisfying and meaningful life at work and beyond.

Perhaps you have more questions than answers right now.

  • Have you struggled with navigating multiple cultural expectations throughout your childhood and adulthood?

  • Do you worry about the approval of others, but wonder what would make you feel fulfilled?

  • Do you feel like you constantly have to prove yourself to others in your personal and professional life?

  • Do you struggle with slowing down because you believe that’s not what ambitious, hard working people do?

  • Does self-doubt keep you passive and stuck in something unfulfilling or prevent you from striving for more?

  • Are you feeling stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns and are unsure how to break those cycles?

  • Does perfectionism keep you from finding satisfaction in different parts of your life?

I help BIPOC professionals stress less, beat burnout and start creating healthy work boundaries.

  • I can help you overcome imposter syndrome, decrease anxiety, stress, and burnout from your day to day life.

  • Develop new ways to combat overworking, challenge automatic negative thoughts and learn healthier habits to make a significant change in your work life.

  • Learn about how your history and your family’s history impact your current relationships.

  • Improve the quality of your relationships by maintaining healthy boundaries in your work and personal life.

  • Reconcile the intersections of your identity to empower you and help you to feel seen by the important people in your life.

  • Feel pride in your cultural identity and how you choose to identify.

  • Find relief from the symptoms you may be experiencing and strike balance between work and other areas of your life.
