The overwhelming grip of anxiety can cast a relentless shadow over your daily existence, leaving you feeling isolated and burdened. A persistent sense of worry, fear, or unease may seem all-consuming. Depression, with its profound impact on your sense of joy and purpose, can lead you to question the very essence of your being. As you navigate the complexities of modern life, the concept of work-life balance often feels like an elusive mirage, always just out of reach. Striving for professional success while nurturing personal relationships can lead to feelings of burnout and exhaustion. You are not alone.

Welcome! To remedy something means to set right or to cure. The beauty of being human is having the capacity to set things right within ourselves. To set something right is not always to suggest that something is wrong, but it does mean that to be human is to provide ourselves with much deserved grace and compassion. Life can be defeating at times, as we tirelessly work towards a version of ourselves that seems unattainable. If you have found yourself here, it is important for you to remember that who you currently are is also the person responsible for who you seek to become.

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.
