Syeda Gilani MC RP CCC

It seems like no one truly understands how challenging it is to walk the line between two cultures. On one side, there’s your family’s unique dynamics, expectations, and responsibilities. On the other, the Western norms for work, dating, parenting, and living. The combination creates a tremendous amount of stress, leaving you feeling down, anxious, depressed, and full of guilt. You know you need help setting healthy boundaries, and focusing on self-care, but you need someone who understands the challenges associated with adopting a new culture and society while staying connected and grounded with your own cultural values.

Let me help. As a second-generation South Asian immigrant, I utilize culturally responsive interventions to strengthen your personal identity while gaining self-worth. With the use of therapeutic approaches such as CBT & DBT, you’ll learn concrete tools to manage your thoughts, set healthy boundaries, and practice assertive communication.

Let’s work together to instill hope, encourage independence, and build a sense of empowerment. All while keeping your family at peace. Call or email me today to schedule a free 10-15 minute consultation. I look forward to supporting you in this journey of healing to foster your ongoing personal growth, nurturance, and self-compassion.
