About Us
At Caged Dreams, we are on a mission to support the mental health needs of formerly incarcerated individuals and immigrants. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to overcome their past and build a better future. Through our work, we strive to raise awareness and reduce stigma surrounding these communities.
Our main focus is storytelling. We produce short films that aim to foster empathy and understanding among the audience. We firmly believe that by sharing the stories of these individuals, we can break down barriers and create positive change in society.
But our work doesn't stop at film production. We offer a range of supportive services, including mental health counseling, therapy, and legal assistance. We understand that addressing the holistic needs of these individuals is crucial for their successful reintegration into society.
With a team of experts in filmmaking, mental health, and legal services, we have the expertise to effectively address the diverse needs and concerns of the individuals we serve. We actively engage with the community through events and partnerships to promote empathy and understanding.

Unlocking Wellness: Empowering Immigrants Through Telehealth
At Caged Dreams, we are dedicated to offering a beacon of hope and support for immigrants navigating the complexities of mental health challenges, particularly for those who have undergone the harrowing experience of immigration detention, or for individuals caught in the limbo of backlogs while awaiting the adjudication of their cases. We understand the unique stressors faced by these communities, and it’s our mission to deliver compassionate, comprehensive mental health care that acknowledges and respects their unique journeys.
Our Approach: Telehealth & Personalized Therapy
In a world where accessibility to mental health services often remains out of reach for immigrants, Caged Dreams is committed to breaking down these barriers through innovative telehealth solutions. Our approach blends the convenience of technology with the warmth and personalized care of therapy, ensuring that geographical limitations or the constraints of one's legal circumstances no longer stand in the way of receiving the help one needs.
How Telehealth Transforms Lives
Telehealth offers a discreet, flexible, and accessible means of receiving mental health support, making it particularly suited for immigrants who may face logistical, legal, or personal obstacles in accessing traditional in-person therapy. Through our platform, individuals can connect with empathetic, skilled therapists who are specifically trained to understand and address the complex emotional and psychological challenges that are often part and parcel of the immigrant experience.
Empowerment Through Therapy
Our therapy sessions are designed not only to address immediate mental health concerns but also to empower our clients as they navigate the intricacies of their new lives. Whether it's coping with the trauma of detention, the anxiety of pending legal decisions, or the stress of establishing new roots in a foreign land, our therapists are here to provide support, guidance, and strategies to strengthen mental resilience.
