Lydia Lamba

Social Worker (Mental Health)

“I work best for someone who feels the weight of generational trauma, the pressure of being the parentified sibling, or the struggle of navigating mental health within a culture that often stigmatizes it. My goal is to collaborate in a way that honors your identity, culture, and lived experiences.”

About Me

I support individuals grappling with generational trauma or the unique challenges of parentification. When navigating mental health within cultures that often stigmatise it, I offer a collaborative space. Here, your identity and lived experiences are truly honoured. We explore your unique narrative to find strength, transforming struggle into a path of self-understanding.

Approach

When family history and early caregiving shape how you move through the world, my work meets that complexity with steady curiosity and clear structure. Sessions are held in person in Bingham Farms, Michigan, paced to what feels manageable and practical for you. I guide short, hands-on practices in session and suggest small, doable experiments between meetings—mindful grounding, values-based choices, and gentle tracking of triggers—to loosen stuck patterns and build new responses. People who carried caregiving roles early often find this steady, practical rhythm helpful.
