Culturally Sensitive Therapists in 27615
I do this in a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed way, and help you navigate issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
I often tell my clients that life is full of VUCA: Volatility. Uncertainty. Complexity, and Ambiguity. If your're feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed by VUCA, I'm here to help you. As a mindfulness-based therapist, I listen keenly, guided by an understanding of your needs. Our journey can take many forms. You may learn new coping skills, gain new insights about youself, unravel unhelpful thought patterns, practice new habits, or learn to let-go of the things no longer serving you. No matter the direction, feel confident in knowing that grace, grit, and wisdom are the forces that will lead you to healing.

I don't know Where the Boys Are (movie) but I DO know where the Men are..in my office! Men are an underserved, misunderstood, and often villainized group. Most want to be the best versions of themselves and accomplish this through therapy. I strive to provide an accepting, nonjudgmental, safe space to unravel the mysteries of self. My sense of humor, practical approach, appreciation for direct comments, and an athletic background make me a good match for this population. I can mirror what you can expect from a healthy female in your life. Men suffer from abuse, poor boundaries, communication traps, and societal pressures.

We have all experienced times when we have felt disconnected, insecure, and uninspired. It can seem frightening to decide to reach out to a therapist for help, and I applaud the courage involved in you taking this step. How you are feeling now, or have felt in the past, does not have to be the way you feel for the rest of your life. Therapy is an opportunity for you to examine which beliefs and behaviors no longer serve you and to develop new perspectives that facilitate a greater sense of contentment.

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.
