Are you seeking a safe space where your unique identity is understood and celebrated? Do you find yourself straddling the complexities of many marginalized identities: POC/BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, ADHD/neurodivergent, 1st-gen American/adult child of immigrant parents? The weight from the social pressure to conform to immigrant family roles / expectations—especially the “minority model” stereotype and resulting perfectionism—can leave you feeling anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed. Navigating these challenges can be daunting, but you’ll find answers and guidance here.
Stara Shakti, LMFT, offers compassionate and inclusive therapy services to help you find healing from trauma and the peace you desire. You're in the right place if you seek a professional well-versed in the nuances of diverse cultural backgrounds, including those with intersecting marginalized identities—i.e. POC/BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and more.
Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, Stara empowers you with personalized coping strategies, tools, and resources to help you manage and thrive. Overcome your past, embrace your strengths, and consciously create a more balanced and fulfilling life. How about a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit for working together?

Groups
Coming Soon! (Ideas are welcome!)
Before COVID-19, I ran a successful Healing From Trauma group for over a year. I love the energy of people coming together to process their issues and for a common good--e specially when that common good involves improving mental health outcomes. I am currently deciding what groups to launch in 2022 and am definitely open to feedback! So, if you have an idea for a group you'd like to see please call or email me...I'd love to hear from you! Thanks in advance!
