Holistic Therapy in Berkeley

 


Cultural competency is an essential trait in any therapist -- but what does it mean to be culturally competent, and why does it matter?

A therapist who is culturally competent can provide therapy that can overcome cultural barriers between the therapist and the patient.

Cultural competency matters because we do not live in a homogenous world. According to PsychCentral, 24 percent of the U.S. population is non-white and 13 percent are foreign-born.

In order to better serve our patients, therapists must learn everything we can about a patient's culture and strive to provide treatment that transcends cultural boundaries. This includes recognizing and identifying our own privileges and biases that may affect how we identify with a patient.

Working with a culturally competent therapist enables you to deepen the therapeutic relationship between you and your provider so that your culture is not an obstacle to treatment -- but an asset.

Contact us to learn more about our culturally competent style of holistic therapy, and how it can help you heal.

New Parents Needing Support

Parenting can be satisfying and fulfilling. But it can also be difficult and time-consuming. Parents must tend to an infant or child’s daily needs. They are also responsible for helping each of their children develop life skills. These skills include daily living skills, social skills, and appropriate behaviors. Parents with more than one child must account for the personalities of each, as well. New parents , overwhelmed parents, and parents facing mental health conditions may benefit from the support of a mental health professional. A  therapist or counselor  can help parents through difficult situations or behavioral concerns. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/
