Why do I feel like I don’t fully belong anywhere?

Many people navigating multiple cultures feel caught between worlds. Therapy offers a safe space to explore identity and build a sense of belonging that fits you.

What if my family doesn’t understand or accept my identity?

That’s a common and painful experience. Therapy helps you process family and cultural pressures, set boundaries, and stay connected to your values.

How can therapy help with experiences of racism or exclusion?

We create a validating space to process racial trauma and microaggressions, rebuild self-worth, and support you in navigating systems with more safety and care.

Can I honour multiple parts of my identity without choosing just one?

Absolutely. Therapy supports you in integrating all parts of your identity and defining belonging on your own terms.

Therapy for Cultural Identity, Belonging & Self-Discovery

Navigating who you are — across cultures, communities, and identities — can be both meaningful and overwhelming. Our therapists provide trauma-trained, affirming support to help you explore identity, belonging, and self-acceptance.

Identity Is Complex — and Worth Exploring

Cultural identity is shaped by family, history, migration, traditions, and lived experience. It can bring pride and belonging — but also conflict, pressure, or confusion.

At Fika, we understand that exploring cultural identity isn’t about choosing one “box.” It’s about making sense of your story, finding where you feel at home, and being affirmed in your full identity.

Modalities We Use
