Seeking therapy is often a difficult process for many individuals of diverse backgrounds due to cultural stigmas and stereotypes around mental health. Trying to then find the "right" therapist can feel impossible whether it's your first time exploring or the umpteenth attempt following another not-so-great experience.

Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of self-criticism, leading to persistent feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness?
