Counseling for Asian Americans in Oregon and California
Heal the wounds from the past to live fully in the present
Welcome, my name is Jeff.
If you have grown up in an immigrant home you may have felt the need to keep your feelings to yourself. When you had worries and doubts or times where you felt extremely down, you believed that you could not share about it with your loved ones because you are either used to being dismissed or you believed that you were burdening them with your problems. Over time, this has left you feeling extremely resentful, alone, pissed off, or like you have to pretend everything is “fine” even when it’s really not.
Even though you feel this anger towards your parents, you still have this desire and hope that your family would know you on a deeper level. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to sort through it by yourself.
