At iThrive, I offer therapy for first-generation immigrant South Asian women, looking at your whole life, not just the problem that brought you in. Many Western therapy approaches focus on the individual, with advice like “put yourself first,” “set a boundary,” or “walk away.” But for many of us, family is part of who we are, and ending one relationship can feel like losing your entire support system. I believe you don’t have to choose between yourself and the people you love. I understand how family, culture, and faith shape a person, and I’ll walk alongside you, finding strategies that fit you instead of asking you to fit them. Here, you can talk about what you usually keep to yourself, maybe the guilt of wanting something different, or the pressure to keep everyone happy. Together, we can work toward what matters to you, at a pace that feels right for you. Sessions are in English, Malayalam, Hindi, or Urdu, so you can feel at ease opening up. My goal is to help you look after yourself without feeling like you’re caring less for the people you love.
