Life can come at you fast and at times, become a little overwhelming. Sometimes, feelings of hopelessness, stress, frustration and even sadness may occur. It can be a little hard trying to manage everyday life stressors, like school or even family dynamics. This can all cause feelings of disappointment or hopelessness.

Life can be a wild time, sometimes. If you find yourself caught in the trap of overthinking, battling indecision, and wrestling with low mood or motivation, I'm here to help. Usually, you're a powerhouse—driven, self-motivated, and somewhat self-aware. Yet, there are those times when self-care takes a back seat, and you feel stuck in patterns that just won't budge.

Ever been afraid to ask for help because you're supposed to be the strong one, the smart one, or the successful one who has it all? Have you ever been surrounded by friends, family, and loved ones, yet you are all alone? Afraid to open your mouth because your culture, race, religion, or ideology of life says that doing so means you are speaking negatively over your life, therefore you're a complainer and miserable? Do you just want to get some things off your chest without fear of judgement ? Are you so overwhelmed with work or other obligations that you've lost or forgotten who you are?

Hey there, I'm Jess. I support and empower individuals as they grow through healing. When was the last time that you truly felt like yourself? Have you been feeling trapped, stuck, or stagnant? If so, it may be time to think about talking to a counselor. Life is complex, complicated, and sometimes overwhelming. Oftentimes we get into the unhelpful habit of putting our needs on the back-burner so that we can focus on the fast-paced present. Counseling is an opportunity to expand your mind, self-reflect, practice gratitude, heal, slow down, rest, and recharge. It’s an opportunity to end harmful cycles, habits, beliefs, and behaviors.

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.
