TRUSTED BY NATIONAL MEDIA

What Brings Our South Asian Clients to Therapy

Whether you’re facing family pressure, identity stress, or just feeling stuck — you’re not alone.
You deserve to feel understood, supported, and empowered.

Common South Asian Mental Health Issues:

When worry won’t turn off, it becomes hard to rest, decide, or breathe. At Boundless, we help South Asian clients understand the roots of their anxiety — not just manage symptoms. 

Low energy and isolation can make joy feel out of reach. We approach depression through a culturally aware, relational lens — helping you feel reconnected to meaning again.

Self-Esteem & Worth

Maybe you second-guess yourself constantly — We help you explore the invisible pressures of culture, gender, and family roles, so you can rebuild self-trust

Conflicts and distance create cycles of hurt and disconnection. Whether with partners, family, or friends, our therapists help you break intergenerational patterns and create relationships that feel safe.

Professional & Academic Stress

High expectations & fear of failure lead to misaligned choices. We help South Asian clients untangle their voice from the noise — so ambition feels aligned with authenticity.

Unresolved trauma continues to impact your daily life. Our therapists are trained in EMDR, somatic work, and trauma-informed care — with training in cultural comptency.

You’re figuring out who you are — but fear, or culture can make that feel unsafe. We hold space for the complexity of South Asian and queer identities, with warmth & inclusivity.

How Does Therapy Work for Our South Asians Clients at Boundless?

Every story starts with safety.

Your first few sessions will focus on building trust and getting to know you — not just your struggles, but your strengths, values, and the systems you’ve been shaped by.

 

You set the pace.

We won’t push you to open up before you’re ready. Whether you’re exploring identity, processing trauma, or learning boundaries, therapy unfolds at a pace that honors your nervous system and your story.

 

We bring culture into the room — not just cope around it.

We don’t ask you to explain your culture, justify your choices, or “fix” your family. We help you understand how generational patterns, guilt, silence, and resilience show up — and what healing might look like for you.

 

Therapeutic frameworks we use in our work:

We listen closely, challenge gently, and collaborate with you to move toward the life you want. We often use:

 

Sessions are virtual, flexible, and deeply personalized.

Our South Asian therapists work with clients across New York and Massachusetts, offering online therapy that fits into your schedule and reflects your lived experience.

Clear & Transparent Fees

Some of our South Asian therapists are in-network with Aetna.
Others work with clients who pay privately, with rates ranging from $165–$255 and a limited number of sliding scale spots starting at $150.

 

Your care shouldn’t be limited by an insurance directory.
We’ll help you use your out-of-network benefits so you can work with the therapist who’s right for you — and many clients are reimbursed for up to 80% of their session costs.

Themes We Often Explore in Therapy with Our South Asian Clients

Identity & Belonging

Unpacking who you are — beyond family expectations, cultural roles, or what’s been projected onto you.

 

Guilt, Shame & Cultural Pressure

Working through the internalized fear of being “too much” or “not enough” — and rewriting your relationship to self-worth.

 

Boundaries with Family

Making space for your own needs while honoring intergenerational love and loyalty.

 

Perfectionism & High Achievement Stress

Exploring the cost of always striving — and learning to feel enough, even when you’re not producing.

 

Queerness, Visibility & Safety

Navigating gender, sexuality, and identity in a way that honors both your truth and your safety.

 

Cultural Grief & Disconnection

Making sense of the pain that comes from dislocation — from language, rituals, or parts of yourself you had to leave behind.

 

Reclaiming Joy & Self-Trust

Building a life that isn’t just functional — but expansive, authentic, and your own.
