    CASE OF KIAN VIGNETTE:

    Kian is a 17-year-old gay, cisgender male from a middle-class Iranian-American family. He is being

    referred to counseling by his mother, who expressed concern about his increasing depressive

    symptoms and lack of direction regarding college and career planning. His mother attributes some

    struggles to his ADHD diagnosis from middle school. As a junior in high school, Kian describes

    upcoming career decisions as “overwhelming and stressful.”

    Academic Performance: Kian maintains strong grades in English literature, creative writing, and

    art classes, where teachers praise his originality. However, he struggles with focus in mathematics,

    sciences, and business courses, describing them as “meaningless” and “not for people like me.”

    Work Experience: Kian recently quit a part-time administrative job at his uncle’s accounting firm

    after three months. The family arranged this position believing office experience would be

    “practical,” but Kian received feedback about missing deadlines and appearing disengaged. He felt

    “completely out of place” but enjoyed occasional tasks like drafting newsletters that used his

    creative skills.

    Interests and Aspirations: Kian is passionate about creating digital art, reading graphic novels,

    and analyzing science fiction films. He dreams of working as a concept artist for films or illustrating

    graphic novels but frequently expresses self-doubt: “I’m creative, but probably not talented enough

    to make it professionally.” He has never taken formal art classes and worries his self-taught skills

    aren’t “legitimate.”

    Family Dynamics: His mother runs a real estate agency, and his father is an architect who

    immigrated from Iran. Both work extensive hours and frequently discuss financial pressures. His

    older brother Darius recently graduated with an accounting degree and secured a prestigious firm

    position, earning frequent family praise for his “practical” career choice. When Kian shares artistic

    interests, family responses include “be realistic about making money” and “art is a nice hobby, but

    you need a real career.”

    Kian came out to his parents six months ago. While they expressed acceptance, he senses subtle

    shifts in family dynamics and sometimes wonders if they worry about additional challenges he

    might face.

    Current Challenges: Kian describes himself as “non-confrontational” and often retreats when

    family discussions about his future become intense. He feels anxious about college applications

    and struggles with “living in two worlds” – his authentic interests versus family expectations. His

    goals include figuring out “how to be excited about my future instead of dreading it” and finding “a

    way to honor my family while being true to myself.”
