meet MaribĆ Henriquez, LCSW (she/her): a first-generation Dominican-American, therapist, and founder of Project Chula. during our insightful conversation, MaribĆ shares her journey as the daughter of immigrant parents, navigating the complexities of identity, carving out her own path, and the responsibility of being a cultural bridge.
we dive deep into the unique mental health challenges facing Gen Z and millennials, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds, as well as the financial anxiety tied to issues such as student loans, credit card debt and hyperconsumerism. we also chat about all things 'inner teen,' - you know, that slightly angsty yet highly observant presence we all have that encourages us to reconnect with our authentic selves and make choices rooted in curiosity and exploration.
together, we explore the pressures of being a superwoman, the importance of embracing vulnerability, and the power of letting others show up for us.
