Ruidi Zhu Psychotherapy & Counselling

Do you come from a culture that's different from the "mainstream" one? Are you an immigrant or have grown up in an immigrant family? Have you always felt a sense of being "different" than others because of who you are?

​

Identity is a sense of "who am I" and belonging. Sometimes, this fundamental sense of self can be lost when we have conflicting identities or have transitioned to a completely new and foreign society.

 

Alienation and systematic oppression towards cultural or racial minorities can also lead to feelings of confusion and powerlessness; a lot of people choose to turn their anger toward themselves even when the anger should have gone somewhere else. 

​​

Psychotherapy will help you explore and embrace your unique identity and heal scars from the past. It can help you:

​

• Discuss your feelings in a safe environment and get support

• Integrate and embrace new or conflicting identities

• Find your lost voice and become your true self

• Explore and build a sense of belonging
