As a therapist with South Asian heritage and international lived experience, I understand how family expectations, honour, and silence around emotions can make therapy feel unfamiliar — or even risky.
Culturally sensitive psychotherapy does not ask you to reject your roots. It creates space to examine how culture shapes your relationships, identity, and mental health — on your terms.
Resources such as First Session's profile on South Asian therapists reflect a growing recognition that representation matters. If you have been searching for someone who understands these nuances, you are not alone.
