Therapy for Adult Children of Immigrants

You Built the Career They Sacrificed For. So Why Does It Still Feel Like You're Failing Them?

You grew up watching your parents work harder than anyone you knew so you could have chances they never got. You were taught to be grateful and to make them proud, not to complain about how hard any of it was.

Now you have the job, maybe even the career they used to brag about to family back home. And a part of you still feels like you're proving you were worth it. You feel guilty taking a sick day. You feel guilty saying no to a request from your mom in the middle of a workday. You're managing your own career and somehow still managing their stress too.

This isn't about blaming your parents or being ungrateful. The same habits that helped your family survive, like staying quiet and putting everyone else first, are the ones now making it hard to set a boundary with your manager or tell your dad you can't talk right now because you're in a meeting.

You can love your parents and still build a career and a life that's actually yours, not just an extension of theirs. Therapy is where you figure out what's genuinely yours to carry and what you've just been carrying out of habit. In-person sessions are available in Las Vegas, with telehealth throughout Nevada and Washington.
