The Global Citizen Therapy Podcast

"Global Citizen Therapy podcast is a platform dedicated to empowering and validating women of color who are the daughters of immigrants. In the midst of straddling two cultures, we often find ourselves feeling invisible and uncertain in this vast world. As a therapist of color who specializes in working with bicultural women, my goal is to shed light on the challenges faced by daughters of immigrants. Through these podcasts, we will explore sensitive subjects including colorism, internalized oppression, the stigma surrounding mental health, the weight carried by daughters of immigrants, parental expectations, immigrant depression, survivor guilt, and racial trauma. Together, we will embark on a storytelling journey where I will openly share my own experiences, ensuring that you never feel alone on your path. Join me as we delve into these crucial topics, fostering a sense of community and providing the support you deserve."
