Racial Identity Therapists in Plainview, NY

As a child of Indo-Caribbean immigrants, I am uniquely positioned to offer support to folks who exist in the in-betweens of cultures and lineages. My work is rooted in an understanding of systemic oppression; I strongly believe that it is not possible to consider healing outside the context of our external realities. Nonetheless, I believe in helping folks find strength through a connection to the endurance of their lineages, within themselves and their relations, and through their spirituality. We have so much to offer to ourselves, each other, and the world when we root in who we are with authenticity and integrity.
