In this episode of Your Story Medicine, I welcome Sara Stanizai, Licensed Therapist and Owner of Prospect Therapy, a queer and trans affirming therapy practice with a focus on first generation American and immigrant mental health. As a queer first generation herself, she also facilitates an Afghan-American women’s circle twice each year. 

Sara speaks to us about what it was like to grow up in an Afghani household in America and how her career as a therapist has influenced and healed her relationship with her father. She speaks on the role of imposter syndrome in the lives of first generation individuals and how she has dealt with imposter syndrome herself. Sara also offers powerful advice for entrepreneurs who want to expand their offerings to include group programs, highlighting the benefits of gathering and healing in groups.
