Navigating race, ethnicity, and cultural identity in today’s world can be challenging—especially when it intersects with discrimination, generational trauma, or feelings of not belonging. At Insight Counseling, we provide Race & Cultural Identity Counseling in Fort Wayne, offering a safe, affirming space to explore your cultural background, racial experiences, and identity development. Whether you're processing experiences of racism, reconciling dual cultural identities, or seeking deeper self-understanding, we’re here to support your journey with compassion, insight, and respect.
Why Cultural Identity Matters
Cultural identity shapes how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we make sense of our place in the world. It includes elements such as race, ethnicity, nationality, language, religion, traditions, and lived experience. When identity feels misunderstood, marginalized, or fractured, it can lead to:
Internalized racism or cultural shame
Anxiety, depression, or chronic stress
Cultural identity
conflict
Low self-esteem and lack of belonging
Feeling isolated from
others
Difficulty in unfamiliar
spaces
Whether you’re facing cultural pressure, intergenerational challenges, or simply seeking to better understand and affirm who you are—your story matters.
