BIPOC, Immigrants, & Multicultural Therapy in North Carolina
You Don’t Have to Carry This Alone Anymore
If you are an immigrant or BIPOC individual living in North Carolina, you may already know what it feels like to move through this country and in the South in a body that is politicized.
You may feel like it’s not safe to take up space.
Like you have to code-switch to survive.
Like you must be twice as good to be seen half as worthy.
Like you’re constantly bracing, for the news, for the next policy, for the next video of someone who looks like you being harmed.
And it is fucking exhausting.
At The Holistic Living Co., we provide online therapy in North Carolina specifically for immigrants, first-generation Americans, and BIPOC individuals who are navigating racism, discrimination, generational trauma, and the pressure to succeed in systems that were not built for them.
Our work together may focus on:
Immigration trauma and acculturation stress
First-generation pressure and “model minority” expectations
Racism, microaggressions, and workplace discrimination
Generational trauma within family systems
Identity confusion and cultural belonging
Political and collective trauma
Releasing shame and perfectionism
Reconnecting to ancestral wisdom and cultural pride
This is trauma-informed, anti-racist, and decolonial therapy rooted in understanding that healing does not happen in isolation.
You do not have to explain racism for it to be believed here.
You do not have to minimize your anger to be acceptable.
You do not have to shrink to survive.
You don’t need to toughen up.
You don’t need to be more grateful.
You don’t need to carry this alone anymore.
You Are Not “Too Sensitive” or “Paranoid”
Many of the symptoms that bring immigrants and BIPOC clients to therapy look like:
Anxiety and constant hypervigilance
Burnout and exhaustion
Feeling disconnected or not “good enough”
Feeling that you have to be the “perfect immigrant” to be valued
Anger that feels overwhelming
Depression that feels confusing
Shame around identity, culture, religion, or language
These are often labeled as mental health disorders. But in most cases, they are survival responses to racism, colonization, migration, stress, intergenerational trauma, workplace discrimination, and systemic oppression.
Your nervous system is doing what it was designed to do in unsafe or chronically stressful environments.
