Therapy Is For People of Asian, Latinx, and Indigenous Heritage Too

If you’re a young adult of Asian, Latinx, or Indigenous heritage navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma in America, know this: your pain is valid, and your healing matters.

Living at the intersection of race, class, culture, and systemic oppression often means carrying invisible burdens. You may feel the weight of expectations, the silence around mental health in your family, or the fear of being misunderstood by professionals who don’t share your lived experience. Trusting someone with your inner world can feel risky when multiple systemic differences loom large.

But healing is possible. Culturally-sensitive, justice-informed, trauma-informed therapy offers a powerful space to unpack race-based traumatic stress, reclaim your story, and move toward emotional liberation and beyond into political liberation. Therapy isn’t just for white people—it’s for us, too.
