Mental health issues often come with stigma in South Asian communities. Because of this, some people from the South Asian diaspora
may hesitate to seek help when they need it.
Insight & Action Therapy specializes in helping South Asian individuals through every step of their mental health journey. Explore how our therapists can help people from the South Asian diaspora.
Therapy for South Asians in New York
Many South Asian people in New York City and beyond are hesitant to seek mental health support, even when they need it the most. Some of the common contributing factors causing this include:

Social stigma

Religious beliefs
-
Experience with medical racism
-
Weaponized cultural traditions and values
However, the mind and the body are both part of the same system. One can affect the other in multiple ways. That’s why it’s as important to pay attention to your mental health as it is to be mindful of your physical health.

-
Relationship challenges

Interreligious issues
-
Gender bias
