Report
Its always hard finding the right therapist that youre comfortable with especially one that will understand your cultural background too. I was happy I found a South Asian therapist that was able to understand the stigma on mental disorders in the cultural community. It took me a few sessions until I knew I found the one for my needs. Im not where I want to be yet, but I know Im on the right track to healing thanks to her!
