Therapy for intergenerational trauma in Davie, FL
You're carrying more than just your own pain.
It’s like you can never fully relax because you’re constantly managing the emotional weight of others, while navigating a world that wasn’t built for you.
You’ve always felt a heavy weight on your shoulders—but you can’t quite name it.
Maybe it’s the pressure to be perfect. Maybe it’s the unspoken rules around what you’re allowed to feel.
Maybe it’s the way your family avoids hard conversations or dismisses emotional needs entirely.
Discrimination. Racism. Poverty. Stigma.
These aren’t abstract ideas. They’re inherited patterns—passed down through silence, survival, and shame in many BIPOC communities. Especially for Millennial Women of Color, the message is often: keep going, don’t complain, and never let them see you struggle.
You were taught to survive.
Now, you’re ready to live.
I’m here for you.
You’re allowed to slow down and speak up for what you need.
We see you, because we are you.
At Human Freely Psychotherapy and Wellness, we help you unpack the pain you inherited, without shame, and rewrite the story that’s been holding you back.
Feel familiar?
Carrying the emotional pain of your parents or caregivers
Feeling disconnected from your cultural identity or pressured to “code switch”
Always anticipating the worst, even in calm moments
Feeling like your boundaries are disrespected—or that you’ve never been taught how to set them
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy for intergenerational & relational trauma can help you feel whole in a world that told you to shrink.
In our work together, we’ll slow things down and gently untangle the emotional patterns you’ve been carrying for years—maybe even generations. You might have learned to silence your needs, push through pain, or take care of everyone else before yourself. Therapy gives you a safe space to finally pause, breathe, and ask: What do I need to feel whole?
We’ll explore the impact of survival mode, perfectionism, and emotional silence with curiosity, not judgment. Through somatic psychotherapy, body-based awareness, and proven tools like CBT and IFS, you’ll learn to reconnect with your emotions, honor your boundaries, and rewrite the story you inherited. We’ll also make space for your cultural identity and lived experience, helping you break painful cycles while holding onto your strength, values, and truth.
When all is said and done, here’s the thing:
Healing isn’t about fixing who you are. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been before the world told you otherwise.
What we’ll work on

01 you speak your truth without second-guessing
You’ve learned that your voice matters—even if it shakes. You no longer shrink yourself to keep the peace.
02 you set boundaries without guilt

03 you feel rooted in your culture but not confined by it
You hold space for both legacy and growth—healing generational pain while creating new, healthier patterns.
Reclaim the freedom to live, not just survive.
Change is possible. I’ll help you get there.

That’s more common than you think. Many of our clients come from cultures where therapy is stigmatized or misunderstood. You don’t need your family’s approval to heal—you just need a space where you’re seen, supported, and respected.

Never. Our approach honors where you come from while giving you the tools to make conscious, empowered choices. Healing isn’t about blame—it’s about growth, liberation, and legacy.
