Individuals and families of immigrants from a Muslim background can go through much psychological turmoil for being minorities in a mainstream culture that misunderstands them. This may lead to low self esteem, anxiety and depression. They would need affirmations and support to find balance between cultures and find peace within themselves. They would require special understanding of their own culture and the mainstream culture to develop confidence in themselves and be assertiveness while being respectful to everyone around them. A good therapist would instill a sense of wellbeing in them as they contribute positively to life.
I have worked as a psychologist for 36 years in Minnesota with many of my clients coming from the above described background. Consequently, I have developed cultural competency through experience and education. I am an immigrant myself and have raised my family here in the US. I can help one sort out this conflict, so one can have a peaceful/balanced life.
Hello, my name is Zehra Ansari. I am an immigrant from India and have lived in the U S for many years. I know how tough it can get for a person to balance between the western values around you and the religious standards from your culture. I can support/guide you to alleviate this stress and bring the well deserved inner peace and happiness to you.
