I swear, every time I go looking for a therapist, I inevitably run across the white women with varying permutations of "the Karen Haircut" with websites (and offices) covered in yin-yangs, buddhas, rock sculptures, and other Asian symbolism shit and I just... narrow my eyes.

It feels very much like some weird brand of Orientalism that's been co-opted for mental health purposes. It's all very off-putting, to me.
