I have a therapist coming on my podcast who has worked with international students for years — what questions should I ask her?

I run a small podcast focused on the international student experience in the USA — real stories, Practical advice from internationals students and professionals who understands our journey.

After 2 weeks I'm sitting down with a therapist who has worked exclusively with international students for years. She understands the unique mental health challenges we face — culture shock, isolation, visa stress, family pressure from back home, identity confusion, feeling like you can never show weakness.

I have my own questions ready but I want this episode to actually help people who need it.

What would YOU want her to answer?

What's the question you wish you could ask a therapist who actually understands what it means to be far from home, carrying everyone's expectations on your shoulders?

Drop your questions below — I'll do my best to include the most important ones in the interview.
