It can be hard to explain the tension of straddling different identities. Maybe you feel torn between cultural expectations and personal truth. Maybe you’re holding stories, values, or wounds passed down through generations—and trying to make space for who you really are.
These questions of identity aren’t just abstract. They show up in real-life struggles with belonging, self-doubt, conflict, and exhaustion.
At Self Empowerment Center, we take this work seriously—and gently.
Through Internal Family Systems, we help you explore the different parts of yourself that carry cultural roles, family pressures, and internalized expectations. We work with these parts, not against them—so they feel seen and supported, not silenced.
We also use clinical hypnosis to safely reconnect with your inner truth, update inherited patterns, and support a deeper sense of wholeness.
This is your space to come home to yourself—without apology.
Our Therapy Process
Your first step is to call us to schedule your initial appointment. We will link you up with the therapist that we believe will be the best fit for you.
Your initial evaluation session provides an opportunity to build rapport with the therapist and provide them with some background about yourselves and the reasons you are seeking counseling. In addition, they will be able to answer your questions regarding services, confidentiality, and what to expect in therapy.
At the end of your first session, if you decide to move forward and work with that therapist, you will be asked to schedule further appointments. At your second appointment, we will create a treatment plan together that is compatible with your personality, needs, resources and your unique cultural background.
Call +1 630 774 8316 Dr. Asif or +1 630 674 1138 Dr. Yasmeen and speak to us to learn more or schedule an appointment.
