Dr. Pauline Yeghnazar Peck

 

Helping educate, empower, and encourage the children of immigrants to live full, free, meaningful lives. Bridging the mental health gaps between immigrant upbringings and western psychology. Supporting you in doing the two-fold work of breaking harmful intergenerational cycles while reclaiming the goodness of your culture.

 

I understand what you're going through...

As a child of immigrants, you’ve grown up straddling multiple cultural worlds, each with their own norms, rules, and expectations; each with their own lessons and cultural messages.

Within your immigrant home, you didn’t receive the emotional attunement you needed and find yourself still struggling with how to best tend to something that wasn’t given much, or any, attention.

But in the Western world, even popular psychology doesn’t seem to fully fit. You find yourself often thinking “that won’t work for me or my family.” So you feel lost.

LET ME BE YOUR GUIDE

Licensed trauma-informed psychologist, Iranian-American eldest daughter of immigrants, and mama in an intercultural marriage.

Moving to the US from Iran at the age of four, I know what it’s like to grow up with gaps in my understanding of mental health + stigmas around needing help or guidance. Growing up in southern California as a white-passing woman of color, I also struggled to make sense of where I “fit" and belonged.
 
The skills my parents taught me were focused on surviving, not thriving. And my Western psychology training left me feeling discluded and judged. Again, I found myself in the in-between.

It took me years to understand that the experience I was having was not unique to me but shared by many. It took me years to unlearn what I had been taught and to reclaim what I knew in my bones, but had forgotten.

Now it’s my mission to support others to do the same.

INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM

CULTURE + CONNECTION

 

My signature program available to daughters of immigrants around the world. A deep-dive designed to help you explore your personal and collective cultural narrative, rewiring generational patterns to help you thrive in the present and develop new culturally-informed perspectives on relationships with family, partners, and yourself for a transformed future.

This program combines all the things I wish I'd known plus everything I've seen be transformational in my clinical work with the daughters of immigrants over the past decade. It's what happens when information and insight pair with intention and action.

This is the essential daughter of immigrants toolkit delivered in a deeply supportive relational container.

GROUP PROGRAM

ROOTS + FRUITS

Like my signature 1:1 program for the daughters of immigrants but delivered in a group format. A sacred educational, experiential, and relational experience to help you understand yourself as a cultural being, gain the skills to support your work of cycle breaking, and deeply connect with fellow daughters of immigrants.

This program brings together everything I love about my individual program with one of the most underutilized ingredients for change: community! So many of us are doing this work alone which makes it lonely and heavy.

This is for the daughter of immigrants who wants to tap into the power of the collective to do the deep work and reap the rewards.
