Let’s be honest: living as an immigrant in today’s social and political climate can feel like standing under a spotlight you never asked for. Whether you’re undocumented, in the middle of a visa process, or even a citizen with immigrant roots, the reality is the same: you may feel targeted, vulnerable, and unsafe—simply for existing.

That kind of stress isn’t just “in your head.” It lives in your body. It keeps you awake at night. It makes it harder to focus at work, harder to trust others, and harder to feel at home anywhere. It can feel isolating, exhausting, and unrelenting.

This is why therapy can be such a powerful tool for immigrants and first-generation individuals navigating this weight.
