Are you seeking a safe space where your unique identity is understood and celebrated? Do you straddle the complexities of multiple marginalized identities, i.e.: LGBTQIA+, POC/BIPOC, ADHD/neurodivergent, 1st-gen American or adult child of immigrant (or narcissistic) parents? Does the weight from social pressure to conform to family roles or expectations—especially the “minority model” stereotype and resulting perfectionism—leave you feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, and/or even suicidal? Navigating these challenges can be stressful and daunting, but you'll find the answers / guidance you seek here.
Stara Shakti, LMFT, offers compassionate and inclusive therapy services to help you find healing from trauma and the peace you desire. If you seek a mental health professional well-versed in the nuances of diverse cultural backgrounds, including those with intersecting, marginalized identities—i.e. POC/BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and more—you're in the right place!
Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, Stara empowers you with personalized coping skills, tools, strategies, and resources to help you manage symptoms and thrive. Overcome your past, embrace your strengths, and consciously create a more balanced and fulfilling life. Want a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit for working together?
