Cultural Identity

At Green Door Therapy, we believe that cultural identity is a core part of who you are — it shapes your sense of self, your relationships, and how you experience the world.

Whether you're navigating cultural expectations, reconciling multiple identities, or reconnecting with your heritage, we’re here to support you in embracing your unique story.

How Do External Forces Shape Our Identity and Well-being?

We recognize that cultural identity is not only shaped by personal experience but also by the larger political and economic systems in which we live.

These external forces can impact how we see ourselves, how we’re perceived by others, and how we move through the world.

Whether it’s facing discrimination, economic disparity, or societal pressures, these systems can create additional layers of complexity in your emotional and mental health.

In therapy, we offer a compassionate, safe space to explore how culture and systemic factors intersect in your life.

Our approach centers on connection, authenticity, and creativity, helping you understand and honor your cultural experiences while developing skills to cope with the challenges life throws your way. Therapy is a journey of healing and growth, and we’re here to empower you to navigate change, reclaim your sense of self, and find resilience in the face of external pressures.

Healing isn’t linear, and understanding your cultural identity takes time.

Therapy isn’t just about feeling better—it’s about getting better at feeling. Together, we’ll explore the complexities of your cultural identity, including how societal systems shape your experiences, and help you move from surviving to thriving.
