Kijai Corbett

___Can you relate? You expected challenges living here, but not this level of loneliness. Being in the minority is familiar, but it's even harder while facing bias and bureaucracy in a language and culture you're still learning. Your loved ones try to understand, but they don’t carry the same weight that you do. Some of them move through the world with more ease, more privilege, while you stay on guard. You miss people and places that didn’t require so much effort. You imagine building a life somewhere else, but it’s complicated. Every option has its own challenges. And some challenges travel with you. There are people who depend on you. You want to make the best choices, but you're not sure what those are. You wish someone could help you untangle your thoughts and decide what to do. ___You don't have to carry all of this alone I'm Kijai (she/her/hers), a US-licensed therapist based in Germany. I help English-speaking adults with marginalized identities take practical steps to develop more internal ease and external support. As a result of our work together, clients report more self-trust, nourishing relationships, and confidence navigating conflicts. As a Black, African-American, queer, cisgender woman, I have often searched for therapists and spaces where I felt a sense of safety and belonging—where I didn’t have to explain or defend my experiences. I’m honored to co-create that kind of space with others. In 2021, I moved from the U.S. to Germany with my German wife and our newborn. I spend a lot of time thinking about how systemic oppression and privilege impact relationships. I join clients in exploring new ways to connect and build authentic intimacy. ___Ready to take the next step?‬ I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute introductory call.

During the call, we can talk about what led you to reach out and what support would feel helpful right now.
