Cross Cultural Expressions

Cross Cultural Expressions At Cross Cultural Expressions, we see a world in which diversity is celebrated as a means to unite people.

To make this vision a reality, we work hard to increase dialog and understanding by uplifting individuals and communities through therapy, education and the arts. The Cross Cultural Expressions Community Counseling Center (CCECCC), is one of our proudest achievements. Through the center we are able to provide culturally sensitive therapeutic support for our patients, and train other professional clinicians to do the same in their own practices. By better understanding the cultural subtleties, nuances of language and varied forms of expression, we are able to better serve our clients and further our vision of a connected, unified world celebrating the rich diversity of all its inhabitants.

This scene from Wake Up Sleeping Beauty speaks to the reality people learn to live with.

From the pages of Our Immigrant Stories: A Collection of Essays from the Iranian Diaspora comes a reminder that these stories are not history, they are lived experiences.

At CCE Productions, we see what is happening. We hear the voices that are being silenced. We carry the memories, the grief, and the resilience of Iran and its people.

These stories matter. Now more than ever.
