“I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.” Those words, from a song by Nina Simone, could resonate with many of us who know how frustrating and even alienating it can feel to be misunderstood. Feeling this way is highly common in multicultural and complex societies. As a bilingual therapist and international resident, I have firsthand experience navigating multicultural challenges including the ways race, ethnicity, cultural background, gender, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status, and religion intersect with mental health.
Therapy is one of the rare safe spaces to explore sensitive cultural identity topics. My priority is creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. I tailor my psychodynamic approach to fit your unique needs, listening closely to what you want from our work together.
We cannot change the past but we can change our relationship with the past, which ultimately shifts our present and future. I'm Sara Z. and I'm honored to support you throughout this journey. You can schedule your free consultation online using this link: calendly.com/sara-z-psychotherapy/30min
