How can counseling help a
First-Generation American?

Counseling can help you address many areas in your life, some may include:

Feelings

You  may be experiencing feelings of guilt, anxiety, shame, stress or confusion and need a safe space to explore them with someone who understands.

Family

You and your family might be facing challenges in communication, or you could be struggling to meet each other's expectations, including those you place on yourself as a result of the sacrifices made by your family

Academic

Being the first person in your family to attend or graduate from high school or college can be challenging when you don't have someone to guide you through it. 

Imposter Syndrome

When you have the pressure of fulfilling your immigrant family dreams , it is no surprise to battle feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt as you navigate unfamiliar academic and professional environments. 

Intergenerational Trauma

Are you ready to break free from your family's generational trauma and create your own story with behaviors and patterns that support the best version of you.

Identity

Finding someone who you can relate to in your family as a First-Gen can be difficult when your road maps are completely different. Counseling can help explore your unique identity, so that you show up as your authentic self.

My approach in counseling for

First-Generation Americans

​

Ileana Abreu

First Gen's deserve a space where they feel understood and validated for their unique experience.  As a First Gen myself , I deeply understand the challenges that come with trying to navigate two different cultures. 

My approach  to providing counseling services is rooted in cultural awareness, empathy, and relatability. I take pride in creating a space that goes beyond traditional counseling ,  by offering a safe and understanding environment specifically designed for first-generation individuals.

In my practice, cultural sensitivity is not just a checkbox—it's a fundamental aspect of every interaction. I recognize the importance of affirming and recognizing the diverse cultural backgrounds of each individual.
