Self-Identity Therapy
Maintaining Your Identity and Adapting
At Growth Journey Therapy, we understand the complex journey of self-identity, especially for immigrants. The process of integrating into American society while maintaining one’s own cultural identity, beliefs, and traditions can be challenging. Our Self-Identity Therapy is tailored to support immigrants in this unique journey of self-discovery and integration.
The Immigrant Experience of Self-Identity
Moving to a new country often means balancing two worlds: the rich cultural heritage of your homeland and the new practices and values of American society. This can raise questions about self-identity, such as:
- How do I maintain my cultural identity in a new environment?
- How can I integrate into American society without losing my roots?
- How do I navigate the expectations of both my native and new cultures?
- What does it mean to be true to myself in this dual landscape?
- What if people make fun of me for becoming "too American"?
