Culturally Sensitive Support for Immigrants, First & Second-Generation Adults

Adjusting to life in a new country—or growing up between two cultures—can bring challenges that are often misunderstood or overlooked. At Dandelions Counseling Service, I offer individual therapy for recent immigrants, and first- and second-generation adults, with deep respect for your identity, your roots, and your journey.

Whether you're navigating a major transition, carrying intergenerational expectations, or coping with stress and trauma, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you process your experiences and feel more at home—within yourself and in the world around you.

Understanding the Immigrant Experience

You may be:

• Struggling with loneliness, culture shock, or homesickness

• Caught between family expectations and personal goals

• Feeling pressure to succeed while managing immigration stress or legal uncertainty

• Holding unspoken grief, guilt, or trauma from your migration story

• Trying to balance two cultures—and feeling like you don’t fully belong in either

These are deeply human experiences. You're not alone in them, and you don't have to navigate them without support.

What You Can Expect

In individual therapy, you'll have the space to:

• Process complex emotions like anxiety, depression, guilt, or anger

• Explore your identity, values, and sense of self

• Heal from past trauma, including migration-related or intergenerational trauma

• Set boundaries with family while honoring your culture

• Build coping tools to manage stress and build confidence while you are adjusting to life in a new country

Therapy is not about choosing one culture over another—it’s about helping you feel whole and grounded in who you are.
