Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Sukhi Sandhu, MS, LCPC
Therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely understands your world — not a clinical exercise where you're reduced to a checklist of symptoms. Warm, direct, and grounded in what actually works.
Growing up in a South Asian household, mental health wasn’t something we talked about. Not at the dinner table, not with friends, and certainly not with extended family. When someone was struggling, the response was often the same: pray harder, work harder, keep going. Feelings were pushed aside. Vulnerability was treated like weakness.
I saw what that silence did to the people I loved. I watched trauma pass from one generation to the next, unnamed. I became a therapist because I wanted to create the space I wish had existed — one where you don’t have to translate your culture before you can get to the real work.
Why I Do This
If you grew up first-generation, or bicultural, or as the one in your family expected to carry everything — you already know the particular weight of it. The code-switching. The guilt of setting a boundary that feels like betrayal. The pressure to be grateful for sacrifices you never asked for. The ache of not belonging fully in either world.
You deserve a space where all of that can be set down for an hour. Not fixed, not explained, not judged — just set down. That’s the work I’m here to do with you.
