Latina Burnout Monica PolancoClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW (she, her)

About

As a first-generation Latina, you’re in a cultural tug-of-war. Your Latina heritage expects you to be loyal, agreeable and self-sacrificing. Your American workplace demands assertiveness and independence. Now, you’re burned out, angry and stuck. Take heart: you don’t have to choose between yourself and your culture. I help first-generation Latinas unpack cultural expectations, release their guilt and move forward with purpose. Together, we work on building self-trust and finding a balance between your goals and your family's expectations. It all starts with you: who are you now and what's important to you?
