Narrative medicine is a practice, described by Dr. Rita Charon in 2001, in which your story, the one I listen to and for which I create a narrative, not only establishes a healing bond of humanity, held in the utmost confidence, but gives rise also to a diagnosis and to a treatment. You tell your story, I write it down and offer it back so you can in turn reflect and refine it, and once that shared story is told, I have found, healing begins.

FAQ - Hispanic and Latino Psychiatrists
What can a Hispanic and Latino psychiatrist help with?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions, often using a combination of therapy and medication. For many in the Hispanic and Latino individuals, finding a psychiatrist who shares and understands their cultural identity can be an important step toward feeling seen and supported. A provider with shared cultural roots or cultural competence may have a more intuitive understanding of cultural values and may also be better equipped to address sensitive issues like acculturation challenges or the stigma that can prevent individuals from seeking mental health support.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino psychiatrists?
Psychology Today's online directory is a helpful tool that can help aid your search for a Hispanic or Latino psychiatrist. The directory allows you to filter your search specifically for Hispanic or Latino psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs). When reviewing a provider’s profile, look for key information that signals cultural competence—such as being fluent in Spanish or being knowledgeable about certain topics like immigration-related trauma, family dynamics, or bicultural identity. Also, consider practical factors like their offered therapeutic styles (e.g., CBT, family therapy), whether they provide telehealth or in-person sessions, and which insurance plans they accept to ensure that care is both accessible and a good fit for you.
