Culturally Specific Psychological Care

I have learned a great deal about how the brain works and why trauma, psychological problems and medical issues interfere with the ability to learn and function in real time. Until I opened Multi-Cultural Care most of my work was in family practice medical clinics. I even spent five years training medical residents. In these jobs I learned how health problems impact psychological problems and how psychological problems impact health. I also have seen the impact of my client’s poor medical care in their native countries. I never underestimate the impact of chronic pain, stigma, disease, and disability on my client’s functioning. I tell my clients that once they have crossed the threshold to my office, I am here to help them in anyway I can. As a result, my clients trust that I have their best interest at heart. Together we work to figure out how each of them can thrive.
