Counseling for Immigrants
Providing counseling for immigrants in San Jose, Milpitas, Fremont, and California
It all begins with a journey. Immigrants often face big changes and challenges, like leaving loved ones behind, learning a new language, and adjusting to a different culture. These experiences can bring stress, anxiety, sadness, or confusion. Therapy gives immigrants a safe place to talk, heal, and feel supported. It helps them take care of their mental health while feeling understood and respected for who they are and where they come from.
Counseling for Immigrants
As an immigrant, I can relate to your experience. Immigrants often feel a mix of emotions. There may be excitement and hope for new opportunities, but there also may be fear, loneliness, and uncertainty. It can be overwhelming to adjust to a different language, culture, and way of life. You may be feeling homesick for family, friends, familiar places, and familiar foods. You might also feel like you don’t fully belong in this country, especially if you face discrimination or struggle to be understood. These feelings are common and valid. Support can make a big difference in helping you adjust and thrive. Whether you’ve recently arrived in this country or lived here for years, the experience of an immigrant is different than someone who was born in this country.
As an immigrant, I guess that you are resilient. Just leaving your homeland, whether voluntarily or by force, is a feat within itself. As you get familiar with this country, you might need support to understand your feelings, manage your anxiety and loneliness, and possibly learn to understand your trauma. You have the wisdom to survive and make your dreams of coming to this country come true.
Start Healing and Transitioning
Hi! I am Liliana. I want to welcome you to my website. I am a therapist who specializes in helping immigrants. As an immigrant, I understand the immigrant's experience firsthand. I am fluent in Spanish, so if Spanish is your first language, I can help you. When you come to see me, we will go at your own pace. We will meet weekly, get clear on a shared vision that inspires you, help you acculturate, work through the barriers that keep you from making your vision a reality, and equip you with the tools to sustain your success long after our journey together. Consider it like a roadmap to who you are in this new country. If you are still in doubt, I would like to offer this thought - by seeking help, you are helping those around you and making you and your family stronger. I will give you a safe space where you will feel respected and understood.
