Hiyawkal works with individual adults, young adults 13 and older, and couples. By using a holistic approach, coupled with empathy, trust and understanding, I provide supportive therapy to mobilize hope, empower individuals, and ultimately improve their quality of life. I work from a strengths-based perspective, assisting individuals to build their inner strength and overcome hardships in life. For the past 7 years I have been working with diverse populations, providing therapy to adults, adolescents and children who have experienced severe trauma. In addition to specializing in acculturative stress and difficulties related to immigration, I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety and grief. Having gone through the immigration process, I know some of the challenges others experience. As a result of the challenges and cultural shock they experience, many people feel sad, lonely, angry, lost and confused. Culture Shock is a term used to describe the stress and anxiety one feels in a new culture. When people immigrate to a different culture from their own they may experience significant stress and anxiety. “The day came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” –Anais Nin.
