South Asian Therapist
Davina Tiwari MSW, RSW
You may be struggling in your relationships with your parents, family, partner, in-laws, or other important people in your life in terms of managing their expectations of you and coping with feelings of anxiety, guilt, and shame.
​People-pleasing in your relationships, feeling overwhelmed by family obligations, having difficulty setting boundaries, perfectionism at school and work, figuring out your identity between cultures (Western vs. Eastern values), not feeling good enough, and having low confidence in your decisions could be challenges that you are going through.
You might also experience anxiety around life changes and your ability to cope or you could feel guilty for doing what is best for you if it isn't supported by others in your life.
​
Getting more comfortable speaking up for your needs, feeling more certain of your choices, becoming more independent in your relationships, and managing expectations from others so that you can live your life based on your own values, needs, and priorities might be areas you want to work on through therapy.
​
If this resonates with you, please reach out to book your free 15 minute phone consult to see if we are a good fit for therapy. I look forward to hearing from you!
