Hi! I am a Provisional Psychologist working at Charis Counselling in West Edmonton. Clients I have worked with in the past have been willing to have difficult conversations with themselves and challenge the way they see and project themselves. While doing this, it is important to acknowledge that any type of positive change is still a step in the direction of their goals! With this balanced perspective, we can work to find the thoughts and paired emotions that are affecting your behaviours, and negatively impacting your life.

Multicultural Counsellors
What type of therapy is multicultural therapy?
Multicultural therapy is not tied to any specific therapy; rather, it is an overarching approach to therapy that aims to acknowledge and address the influence that factors like race, gender identity, and cultural background can have on someone’s life. Multicultural approaches can be applied to CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and others, and can be practiced with individuals, couples, families, or groups.
What can I expect from multicultural therapy?
Multicultural counselling should be tailored to the client’s unique identity and cultural needs. Such approaches often prioritise the building of trust so that the client feels comfortable exploring various aspects of their identity and any challenges caused by mismatches between their identity and the dominant culture. Beyond that, the format and timeline of therapy will be heavily influenced by the therapist’s preferred therapy approach and the specific problems for which the client sought therapy.
Can multicultural therapy help treat trauma?
Yes. Cultural factors such as racial background, gender identity and or sexuality, and immigration or refugee status can influence both whether someone experiences trauma and how they cope afterward. Multicultural approaches to trauma-informed care will be aware of these influences, helping the client recognise how their response to trauma may be shaped by their cultural background and identify coping mechanisms that take their identity into account.
What are the benefits of seeing a multicultural therapist?
Members of minority groups who seek therapy are sometimes frustrated by providers who don’t understand their cultural background or dismiss the ways in which race, gender, or other facets of their identity influence their lived experience. Seeing a multicultural therapist can help these clients feel seen, understood, and able to develop solutions to life challenges that take their upbringing, beliefs, and past experiences into account.
