LGBTQIA2S+ Therapy
The LGBTQIA2S+ community faces disproportionately high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, especially among people of color, who encounter even greater discrimination at the intersection of racial and sexual or gender identity. For many, traditional therapy settings can reinforce feelings of isolation and misunderstanding. At Diaspora Therapy Group, we provide a space where clients can feel affirmed, understood, and supported by clinicians who share similar lived experiences and identities. Working with therapists who genuinely affirm and understand the complexities of navigating these intersecting identities can help you step into your authentic self and advocate for your needs, while also building resilience within and for your community.
Intimate Partners & Couples
At Diaspora Therapy Group, we support romantic relationships at all stages and structures, including premarital counseling, long-term partnerships, marriages, polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships, and co-parenting dynamics. We also provide sex therapy and are proud to be kink- and sex work-affirming. We recognize that building a strong, fulfilling partnership can be challenging—humans are complex, and navigating relationships takes effort and understanding.
​
Our work with couples is rooted in helping partners cultivate deeper intimacy, effectively resolve conflicts, and communicate in ways that truly meet each other’s needs. We assist in establishing essential boundaries and provide guidance for navigating challenges, such as impasses and betrayals. For partners in intercultural and interracial relationships, we offer support to bridge cultural differences, fostering deeper empathy and understanding.
Whether you’re seeking more compassion in your relationship, a greater sense of security, or simply want to enjoy each other more, our experienced clinicians are here to help you create the partnership you envision.

Cultural Assimilation
The process of cultural assimilation can be both enriching and deeply challenging, often bringing up conflicting emotions as you navigate between multiple cultural identities. Balancing the expectations of your heritage with those of a new or dominant culture can lead to feelings of isolation, identity confusion, and a sense of being “in-between.” At Diaspora Therapy Group, we understand the complexities of cultural assimilation and provide a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where you can explore these experiences. Our therapists are equipped to help you process feelings of loss, honor your cultural roots, and develop a sense of belonging that feels true to you. We offer support for navigating the nuances of dual identity, helping you build resilience and self-acceptance as you reconcile different aspects of yourself. Together, we’ll work to strengthen your sense of self and create pathways for you to thrive within the richness of your multifaceted identity.
Racial & Cultural Stressors
Racial and cultural stressors can take a profound toll on mental health, affecting everything from self-esteem to the ability to feel safe and understood. These stressors—rooted in experiences of discrimination, microaggressions, and systemic inequities—can lead to feelings of isolation, anger, and exhaustion. At Diaspora Therapy Group, we recognize the unique challenges that come with navigating a world that often invalidates or overlooks cultural and racial identities. Our culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approach provides a space where you can explore these experiences, process complex emotions, and build resilience. We work with you to unpack the layers of stress that come from existing at the intersection of multiple identities, helping you reclaim your narrative and find empowerment. By honoring your cultural heritage and addressing the impact of racial stress, we aim to support you in cultivating self-acceptance and creating pathways for thriving in a world that may not always recognize your full humanity.
Adolescents, Teens & Young Adults
The adolescent and early adult years are challenging, often filled with pivotal firsts—first love, first job, living independently, and making decisions that shape your future. It’s a time of self-discovery, where you start to explore what you stand for, what truly matters to you, and where you fit in a world that often feels overwhelming. The pressures of navigating these formative years can lead to high levels of anxiety and stress, especially in a rapidly changing world marked by economic instability, climate change, and shifting social norms. Many young adults find themselves grappling with burnout, feeling that society demands so much yet offers little certainty in return. At Diaspora Therapy Group, we understand how these challenges impact mental health and well-being. We provide a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where you can explore complex emotions, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. Our goal is to support you through these transitions, help you develop skills to manage stress, and empower you to find grounding and meaning as you move forward.
Millenial Burnout
Millennials are often perceived as selfish or vain, but the reality is far more nuanced. Growing up in a digital age, they have been shaped by constant access to information that has influenced their values around transparency, social justice, and authenticity. However, this awareness comes with significant stress, as millennials navigate the unique challenges of building careers in an economically unstable environment, managing student debt, and balancing evolving family and cultural norms in a divisive sociopolitical climate. At Diaspora Therapy Group, we understand these complexities and offer a supportive space to help millennials unpack the weight of these challenges, process their experiences, and work toward greater clarity, balance, and empowerment.
Therapy for Creatives
The creative journey is both fulfilling and uniquely challenging for artists, musicians, actors, and other creatives. Balancing inspiration with the pressure to produce meaningful work can lead to high levels of stress, self-doubt, and burnout. Navigating the complexities of self-expression, public scrutiny, and financial uncertainty often leaves creatives questioning their path and struggling to maintain motivation. At Diaspora Therapy Group, we understand the pressures inherent in a life devoted to creativity, and we offer a compassionate, culturally sensitive space to support you. Our services include art therapy led by our skilled art therapist, designed to help you explore and process emotions through creative expression. Whether you’re working to build resilience, manage the stressors of your craft, or reconnect with your passion, we’re here to help you nurture mental well-being and find renewed purpose in your art.
Generational Trauma
Generational trauma weaves through families, shaping identities and affecting well-being in ways that can feel invisible yet deeply impactful. This type of trauma—whether rooted in experiences of war, displacement, systemic oppression, or family conflict—often leaves lasting marks on relationships, self-perception, and mental health. At Diaspora Therapy Group, we provide a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where you can begin to unpack these complex layers of inherited pain. Our therapists are well-versed in exploring the dynamics of generational trauma, and we offer tools to help you process and heal from patterns that may have been passed down. Through techniques like trauma-informed care and specialized approaches like art therapy, we support you in breaking cycles, building resilience, and reclaiming your story. Together, we’ll work to transform the legacies of the past, fostering a path forward that honors your unique journey and empowers you to cultivate well-being and self-empowerment.
