Take control of your future and grow from the past
Depth psychotherapy for first-generation professionals
Online | Chicago, Illinois
Culturally attuned therapy specializing in the unique needs of first-generation professionals to help them heal their inner child so that their adult self can live guilt free.
Does this sound like you…
Are supposed to have it all figured out
Feel out of sync with yourself
Feel wired instead of tired at night
Feel guilty for speaking up for yourself
Put others needs ahead of your own
Have been holding yourself together for so long, not noticing that you are barely holding on
You’ve been tasked with being the helper in your life and you are struggling more than you can admit, and if you are honest with yourself that kind of scares you. You feel alone in a room full of loved ones, but feel like a burden when asking for help.
You want relief from this constant gnawing feeling that something is not quite right, you just don’t know how to get there.
You want to change and know you can do better for you & with a little help you can get there.
You may feel alone, but you don’t have to do this alone
Hi, I’m Agata,
I help first-generation professionals break cycles and create legacies that would make their ancestors proud.
I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy for first generation professionals. If you are the first in your family to have accomplishments beyond your parents and perhaps your entire lineages wildest dreams, you are in the right place.
I know how much courage and sacrifice it took to get here. You have been holding it together for so long because people counted on you, but now it feels like you may fall apart. You are not alone in feeling this. Together we will get to the root of what isn’t serving you and bring balance and joy back into your life.

Transform
Many people describe therapy as a place where they can be themselves, judgment free and feel relief after the session. The transformation you experience is an ongoing process.
What would life look like if you didn’t live up to the expectations of others and did embrace your true, authentic self?
I offer exclusively online therapy for Illinois residents. This means you stay put on your couch, or favorite chair and we meet via a secure HIPPA compliant platform. No more commute or looking for a parking spot. A place just for you to tune in, let go, and transform. See you online.
