I am a South Asian clinical health psychologist that understands both the psychological and cultural context of being diagnosed with a serious illness such as cancer.  Because I have grown up both in the US as well as in India I understand the cultural complexity behind the meaning of illness and how it takes a toll on the patient and the family.  This often looks like a misunderstanding of how the Western system approaches health care, issues between the individual and family, as well the patient’s sense of self impacting their own resilience and emotional distress.  Reach out to me for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit .
