Minority Mental Health at House of Wellness

Your mental health doesn’t exist in isolation — it’s shaped by identity, community, history, and the systems you move through each day. At House of Wellness, we recognize that individuals from racial, ethnic, and cultural minority backgrounds often face unique emotional burdens. These include systemic barriers, intergenerational trauma, and daily experiences of bias or invisibility.

Dr. Maniar offers inclusive, culturally responsive care for individuals across California who want to feel seen in their care — not reduced to a diagnosis or expected to fit into someone else’s framework. Your experience matters here, and your healing starts with being fully understood.

We Understand the Impact of

Racism, colorism, and microaggressions
Cultural expectations around success, family, or gender roles
Immigration-related stress and identity conflict
Intergenerational trauma and silence around emotional pain
Medical mistrust based on lived or inherited experiences
Code-switching, assimilation pressure, and cultural disconnection
Chronic stress from feeling unsafe, overlooked, or misunderstood

These experiences aren’t just “stressful.” They affect your nervous system, self-esteem, relationships, and sense of safety. At House of Wellness, we honor the psychological impact of these realities — and we hold space for your emotions, without minimizing or questioning them.

Our Approach to Minority Mental Health

Dr. Maniar creates a space where you don’t have to defend or explain your identity. We offer mental health care that centers:

Cultural sensitivity and humility
Deep listening without assumptions
Support for racial identity development and healing
Validation of your lived experience — including grief, anger, or burnout
Empowerment to set boundaries, reconnect with your values, and care for your whole self

Treatment plans may include medication management, psychoeducation, and coordination with therapists who specialize in culturally aligned care.

You Deserve Care That Understands the Full You

Minority mental health is not just about resilience — it’s about restoring dignity, clarity, and inner peace. You don’t need to be “strong” all the time. You’re allowed to ask for help. And at House of Wellness, you’ll receive it from someone who honors your complexity.

Dr. Maniar is here to support you — with compassion, cultural awareness, and care that reflects the world you actually live in.
