Written By Regina Trammel
Asian American therapist in Azusa, CA discusses symbol of dragon to usher in the lunar new year. Focusing on reducing stigma in mental health. Providing therapy to promote inner resilience, courage and mental strength.

Your mental health matters!

This new year, let's cultivate self-compassion, seek support when needed, and embrace our cultural strengths to promote resilience and well-being

As we usher in the Year of the Dragon, let's harness the strength and resilience of this powerful symbol to prioritize our mental well-being. Just as the dragon embodies courage and vitality, cultivating inner strength to face life's challenges with resilience and grace can be work done in therapy. Remember, it's okay to seek support and take care of your mental health journey. As an Asian American therapist, I have noticed that our visibility, our strengths and our challenges tend to be placed on the back-burner for the sake of assimilation, or as an effort to stay culturally humble. However, our voices need to be heard, we have cultural collective and individual strengths to share with our spheres of influence. This new year, let's cultivate self-compassion, seek support when needed, and embrace our cultural strengths to promote resilience and well-being. Wishing you all a year filled with peace, prosperity, and mental wellness. Happy Lunar New Year! 🎊🏮🧧
