The Story of Our Struggles – Group Therapy for Immigrants & International Adults

An 8-week in-person group therapy experience for international, immigrant, and foreign-born adults

Living between cultures can be emotionally complex. Many immigrants and international adults experience loneliness, uncertainty, and a sense of not fully belonging- feelings that often go unspoken.
