Through time at non profits and private practice, I have shaped a multicultural, lgbtgq, client-focused, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy approach, blending calming and grounding techniques while working to alleviate faulty cognitions to change our emotions and, eventually, our actions.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if something in your life was different? Or thought to yourself, "I wish that I could chase my dreams," but got overwhelmed once finally sitting down to attempt to set goals for yourself? Have you ever hoped that someone could just SEE you or honestly listen to what you say or think in life without judgment? Someone to "walk' alongside the true you? Are these questions themselves causing you anxiety or leaving you feeling stuck after answering yes to at least one? If so, you are not alone. You're having a human experience, and these challenges are incredibly typical throughout one's life.

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.
