Navigating the In-Between
When you're fighting for your place in two different worlds.
You check the box that's least wrong. You answer “where are you from” with whichever version is least exhausting today. You hold the future of your family on a 4.0 GPA. Specialized first-gen, immigrant-experience, and global-minded support — for the parts of you that don't fit either box.
What therapy here looks like.
- Identity development, immigration stress, and intergenerational trauma as primary lanes
- Feminist multicultural framework — your context shapes the work
- Saturday appointments available

Things people ask before booking.
How long does therapy take to work?
The length of therapy varies for each person. Some see improvements in a few sessions, while others may need longer. It's a personalized process, and progress depends on various factors like the nature of the issues and your commitment.
How do I know if a therapist is right for me?
A good fit is crucial in therapy. Look for a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. It's okay to change therapists if the first one doesn't feel right.
Is everything I say in therapy confidential?
Yes, with few exceptions (such as risk of harm to self or others), what you discuss in therapy stays confidential between you and your therapist.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes — some of our providers do accept insurance, and many clients use out-of-network benefits to get reimbursed for care. Our team verifies your exact benefits and copay for you before your first session, at no cost. See Insurance & Rates for which providers accept which plans.
