Talking about deep feelings in your mother tongue is a different experience. Many Iranians abroad can't find a therapist who both speaks Persian and understands their cultural background. Online sessions remove that distance.
Understanding it
Migration psychology research calls the strain of adapting to a new culture "acculturative stress". Distance from family, shifting roles, different speeds of adjustment between partners or between parents and children, and grief for a lost home and familiar community can affect mental health and relationships. Therapy in your mother tongue helps these experiences be expressed and understood more precisely.

- Partners disagreeing about adjusting to the new life
