Mixed Ethnicity/Race processing Group 

A Process Group for Mixed, Biracial, Bicultural, and Multicultural Individuals

Facilitated by Michele, a clinician with both personal and professional experience navigating the complexity of identity, this group holds space for those who live at the intersection of multiple racial, cultural, and ethnic identities.

Michele, a fourth-generation New Yorker raised in Queens, and is of bicultural Italian and Puerto Rican heritage.

Trained in a practice grounded in intersectionality, Michele brings deep passion due to lived experience and expertise in working with biracial, bicultural, and multicultural individuals.

Many individuals of mixed ethnicity or race struggle with forming a confident racial or ethnic identity for many complex reasons. Often, a fluidity of identity is developed. This can be a strength, but it can also cause psychological distress and harm. 

The goal will be to create solidarity and empathy for experiences which will result in healing and perhaps a more confident and integrated identity. 

This group explores themes such as the ones below but is not limited to them nor confined to them

(Please keep in mind the multicultural experience is incredibly diverse and I cannot capture all of it in this form):

  • Experiences of "passing" as certain races or cultures and being "perceived"
