Therapy should be a collaboration to help you meet your personal goals and cope with whatever challenges you are facing. Everyone has innate strengths and talents that he or she can use (and has used in the past, whether or not he or she is aware of it) to manage and resolve problems. In hearing clients' stories, I am always listening for these natural strengths in order to explore how they can be used to cope with current stressors.

Reaching this new chapter of life felt like a milestone and you couldn't wait to get started. But now that you're here, your brilliant future is a blank page. Where do you even begin? It's so overwhelming that you get caught up in the day-to-day tasks, taking care of others, procrastinating, doom-scrolling... You never really get to the thing that moves your own story forward; not that you even know what that "thing" would be. So instead you end up spinning with anxiety or beating yourself up with words you wouldn’t say to an enemy. You feel the clock ticking. Everyone else is making plans, leveling up... Why can’t you get unstuck?

You are more than your current circumstance. All of us inevitably faces various life transitions, crises, and challenges that test our sense of satisfaction with life, our relationships with others, and our relationship with ourselves. Often our "unhappiness" takes the form of worry, confusion, sadness, hurt, betrayal, disappointment, frustration, and loneliness. Therapy is an avenue to help explore what you are going through and can provide an experience that is supportive, empowering, will make a difference in your life.

When the burden of carrying trauma and stress becomes too much, people often feel like life is out of control. These periods of personal struggle can be an opportunity for growth and hope instead of continued hurt and personal crisis. Talking to a therapist offers an avenue to understand what is happening to you and your relationships (ie. with loved ones, friends, family, and of course yourself). It is an experience that can help you feel listened to, understood, and help you find solutions to improve how you feel and live.

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.
