All people are innately good and have the ability to heal themselves. Stressors are ever present in our everyday lives and are manifested through multiple ways. While these stressors can be the genesis of our problems, they are also the catalyst to starting the healing process. After making the decision to seek counseling and wellness care, the second most critical step is who will provide this care. At Westwind Counseling & Wellness we operate from a strong multicultural perspective providing time honored psychotherapy but with a focus on your whole health guided by the core values of Resiliency, Empowerment and Restoration.

Life can be stressful. We need to manage our lives, emotions and behaviors. Sometimes things happen outside of our control that complicate things even more. I see my role as a partner in helping individuals find the strategies needed to navigate life’s challenges in a healthy and productive manner. I work with individuals as they discover and explore their most authentic selves and how to limit the barriers to achieving their goals. I believe that the ultimate power is within ourselves and therefore will work with you to develop a plan that is realistic for your life and builds on your strengths.

If you want something you have never had in this life, you have to be willing to do something you have never done. You deserve to live a life full of peace, love, and happiness. You are important. Your feelings matter, your voice matters, your story matters, and your life matters. You have the power to seize your happiness, you just have to look within to find it. Many times it is our negative perspective that hinders us from living the life that we deserve. If we could change that perspective, turn it into a positive one, we can regain control of our lives.

The past few years have been really tough! Did you feel like you had it all together & then the rug was pulled out from under you? Maybe you experienced trauma when you were younger & thought you had moved past it. Now you feel frustrated, isolated, & alone. Maybe you are feeling triggered by your kids, spouse, partner, parents, or friends. You love them, but the pandemic has caused you to want to take a month-long vacation from them! You have tried dealing with your anxiety, anger, stress, all on your own but you are struggling to stay afloat-yelling at loved ones, working too much.

Multicultural Therapists
What type of therapy is multicultural therapy?
Multicultural therapy is not tied to any specific therapy; rather, it is an overarching approach to therapy that aims to acknowledge and address the influence that factors like race, gender identity, and cultural background can have on someone’s life. Multicultural approaches can be applied to CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and others, and can be practiced with individuals, couples, families, or groups.
What can I expect from multicultural therapy?
Multicultural counseling should be tailored to the client’s unique identity and cultural needs. Such approaches often prioritize the building of trust so that the client feels comfortable exploring various aspects of their identity and any challenges caused by mismatches between their identity and the dominant culture. Beyond that, the format and timeline of therapy will be heavily influenced by the therapist’s preferred therapy approach and the specific problems for which the client sought therapy.
Can multicultural therapy help treat trauma?
Yes. Cultural factors such as racial background, gender identity and or sexuality, and immigration or refugee status can influence both whether someone experiences trauma and how they cope afterward. Multicultural approaches to trauma-informed care will be aware of these influences, helping the client recognize how their response to trauma may be shaped by their cultural background and identify coping mechanisms that take their identity into account.
What are the benefits of seeing a multicultural therapist?
Members of minority groups who seek therapy are sometimes frustrated by providers who don’t understand their cultural background or dismiss the ways in which race, gender, or other facets of their identity influence their lived experience. Seeing a multicultural therapist can help these clients feel seen, understood, and able to develop solutions to life challenges that take their upbringing, beliefs, and past experiences into account.
