Facilitated by our Director/Founder/Senior Clinician : Dr.Noel B. Ramirez, LCSW

A space for AANHPI folx navigating the very real intersections of body, desire, money, and family.

A monthly psychotherapy group exploring the complex relationships that AANHPI communities — and our intersectional kin — navigate with:

✨ Our bodies
✨ Love, desire & relationships
✨ Money, wealth & work
✨ Family systems, generational trauma & ancestral expectations

This group holds space for identity integration, diaspora narratives, relational patterns, and the ways we “act in” toward alignment with our true north — or “act out” the generational cycles that keep us stuck.

Each quarter highlights a different theme (Body • Love/Desire • Work/Money • Family/Lineage) and includes space for supportive sub-groups, values-based reflection, ACT-informed coping strategies, and process-oriented sharing.

Designed to build community, deepen skills, and create room for AANHPI and intersectional folx to honor their stories, reconnect with themselves, and move toward recovery, alignment, and liberation.

📌 Asian Americans report similar or higher levels of disordered eating and body dissatisfaction compared to White peers, especially when family expectations and acculturation stress are high.

📌 AANHPI communities show elevated risk for problem gambling and compulsive behaviors, often tied to migration pressure, shame, and secrecy.

📌 Many of us learn sex through trauma, scarcity, or performance — not pleasure or safety — and then carry silenced erotic wounds across generations.
You are not alone.
You are not weak.
You are not “too much” or “not enough.”
Your patterns are survival — and they can be healed.
