Life Transitions Therapy

Image
Adjusting to change can be difficult, as even positive life transitions tend to cause some stress. Over the course of a lifetime, a person can expect to experience a significant amount of change. Some of these changes, such as marriages, births, and new jobs, are generally positive, although they may be accompanied by their own unique stressors. Other major life transitions, such as moving, retirement, or entering the “empty nest” phase of life may cause a significant amount of stress. Those who find themselves experiencing difficulty coping with life transitions may find it helpful to  speak to a therapist  in order to become better able to adjust to changes they cannot control. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/holistic-somatic-therapists

Racial Identity Development and Multicultural Counseling Competencies of White Mental Health Practitioners The underlying premise of this study is the belief that  racial identity  development is essential to the framework of multicultural counseling competency. Structural equation modeling was used to test the merit of this hypothesis among White mental health practitioners (professional counselors, counseling psychologists and clinical psychologists). There was a positive significant association between the Pseudo-Independence status of White Racial Identity and Multicultural Counseling Competencies. Women practitioners perceived themselves to be more culturally competent than men. Results are reported with respect to individual practitioner groups. Implications for multicultural counseling training, practice, and research are discussed. Key words: white racial identity, multicultural counseling competency, mental health practitioners. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/
