Faith Kamei, LGSW
About
I'm a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) who supports individuals through major life transitions—particularly immigrants, expatriates, and those navigating career change. Having lived internationally myself, I understand the psychological weight of moving between cultures, identities, and life phases.
My work centers on dismantling mental health stigma in immigrant communities and empowering women of color to envision life beyond familiar boundaries. I bring a financial social work lens to this work as well, because true elevation requires addressing both emotional and economic wellbeing.
If you're ready to process the past while courageously building your future, let's connect.
Experience
I have over 10 years in the social work field, including 5 years licensed as a therapist, working both overseas and locally—primarily with BIPOC and immigrant communities. This cross-cultural background shapes how I understand identity, migration, and belonging.
