Life and relationships are messy. Especially today. There is so much uncertainty, and each day, you face more and more challenges as you try to navigate through the world. Anxiety, stress, and loneliness are the guests that won't leave. Relationships with partners, family, friends, and coworkers feel broken, disconnected, and stagnant, and it feels so lonely. You long for the days when you felt alive and things were in sync. You just want to be heard, valued, and cared for. You want to be accepted, rather than shamed, for your lifestyle and your choices. And you wonder, where do I even begin.

You’re not where you were and that’s something to be proud of. Yet there’s still so much you’re holding on to. You’ve tried moving on, only to have the smallest thing serve as a reminder that nothing is safe and no one can be fully trusted. There are days when you feel okay. Then a slight interaction derails your whole day. Your mind races and your body feels like it’s not your own. Disconnecting from your thoughts and feelings has only gotten you so far, and you know it’s time to finally take the next step. I can help you feel less overwhelmed, recover from past trauma, and feel more present in your daily life.

My typical clients are professionals who have come to realize that negative thoughts are keeping them from achieving their full potential at work and/or in their personal lives. Many of my current clients had tried therapy prior to seeing me and did not find it helpful as they did not get concrete skills to deal with distress.

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.
