Culturally Sensitive Therapy emphasizes people’s various ethnic and cultural backgrounds within the therapeutic relationship.
Some approaches to therapy aim to treat every client the same — utilizing similar techniques, ways of communicating, and explanations of concepts. These therapists understand the importance of different cultures and recognize that these differences can impact the way someone experiences therapy. By bringing these experiences to the forefront of therapy, your therapist will validate your unique background and use it to work on your strengths and propel you toward your goals.
Your therapist will have foundational knowledge about your specific ethnic, cultural, and linguistic differences. They also will continue learning more about how your culture affects your life experiences.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy’s goal is to make you feel more comfortable and understood, not only when it comes to culture and ethnicity, but also religion, race, age, ability, gender, sexual orientation, and beliefs.
Your therapist will employ counseling techniques to help you on your healing journey. They also will serve as an advocate for your particular identities in the community by connecting you to culturally-sensitive resources. Ultimately, the therapy should make you feel comfortable and understood. When the therapeutic space is safer, you will be more likely to benefit from the process.

Being a parent is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding roles we enter into with little to no training or education, other than what we have observed growing up. Often as parents we feel pressure that we should know how to handle any challenges we encounter along the way and be successful in each moment. This is a huge expectation we put on ourselves as parents and absolutely not realistic...

Once we know each other a bit better, I might choose a more casual ...

I believe that every human being is like a guest house. Every day there is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some temporary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Typically, we reject what we don't enjoy and only welcome and entertain the "feel good" moments and emotions. My goal is to help individuals welcome and entertain all moments and emotions. I will help find ways to tre...
