Welcome. Do you need a safe space to talk about what you're going through? A space to discuss what is challenging, confusing, upsetting, disconnecting, or distressing? Besides being seen, heard, and understood, therapy can be a space where you can work on your "stuff". This may be addressing your past; building healthier relationships; managing stress from the outside world; adjusting to difficult changes; increasing self-confidence; finding healthier lifestyles; as well as learning coping and wellness skills.

“Love shouldn’t hurt.” As a speaker for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, I resonate with and seek to help women, men and children of all ages through any situation present or past which has violated their human rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Depression, anxiety, grief, and addiction (substances, sex, etc) are some of the most prevalent issues across the world today. These are clients I’d like to work with. It is not an easy road, but the rewards are great when we stick with it, and having someone to support you and talk to along the way is sometimes all the encouragement you need.

Do you feel like you are existing rather than fully living… like a passenger in your own life? Living life on ‘auto-pilot’ can leave us feeling unfulfilled, full of self-doubt and disconnected from our true selves and from others. Perhaps you feel like you are spinning your wheels in life – like something is missing in terms of your self-worth, career or relationships. Maybe you feel estranged from who you really are, lost or ‘off-track’ in your direction, and wondering how you got here. Or stuck in repetitive patterns with disappointing results. All of this can sap your energy and make life feel like a ‘slog’.

Picture this: you are feeling disconnected from the life you've created. Work is causing burn out, and there's no time for your own self-care because you're so busy being there for everyone else in your life. Navigating this stress is impacting your self-confidence, and is causing you to be your own worst critic. It's interfering with your relationships, making it difficult to open up to others because you've convinced yourself no one will understand you. If that picture is feeling all too real for you, then finding a therapist who can meet you where you're at and support you through these hurdles would be life-changing.

Culturally Sensitive Therapists

How does culturally sensitive therapy work?

A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.

How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?

Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?

While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.

Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?

Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
