Identity tends to shift as life changes. Stress, new relationships, and major transitions often bring old questions back to the surface. Questions about identity can be daunting for everyone, especially multiracial people, transracial adoptees, immigrants, and those raised across cultures. The concept of identity resolutions helps to shift the focus away from the pressure to “fix” or “define” yourself, and toward building self-connection, emotional steadiness, and healthier relationships.

Sarah Bowman, PC, brings a rare blend of lived experience and clinical skill to her work with clients seeking therapy for adoptees (and more specifically, therapy for transracial adoptees), support from a therapist for adoption-related concerns, care from a therapist who specializes in Black mental health, or guidance from a therapist for marginalized identities.

Many multiracial and multicultural individuals move through life balancing different expectations—family traditions, social perceptions, and internal questions of belonging. These experiences can shape confidence, relationships, and emotional health.
