First-Generation/Cultural Identity Therapy in Texas and Maine

Navigating life as a First-Generation can be exhausting. There is an unspoken weight so many first-gen adults carry.

At Aligned Wellness and Counseling, you don’t have to carry the weight alone. I offer sessions in Spanish or Spanglish! You can be yourself here.

Being first-generation often means navigating two worlds at once—honoring your family’s values while also trying to figure out who you are in a culture that may not always understand your background. You might feel pressured to succeed, guilt for wanting something different than what your family envisioned, or feel like you’re constantly code-switching just to fit in. It can be exhausting, lonely, and confusing, especially when your identity feels like it’s being pulled in different directions.

Therapy can be a powerful space to explore these layers. Together, we can unpack the messages you’ve grown up with, talk through the unspoken expectations, and help you reconnect with your voice without losing the parts of your culture that matter to you. Whether you're struggling with boundaries, feeling caught between cultures, or just trying to make sense of your story, here there is room to breathe, reflect and be your authentic self.
