Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Pennsauken, NJ
I take a culturally sensitive approach and draw from a number of different perspectives including cognitive-behavioral therapy (challenging unhelpful thoughts and beliefs), narrative therapy (looking at the stories we tell ourselves), mindfulness (noticing what we are experiencing in the present moment), and existential therapy (finding meaning in life).
It takes strength to get on here and look for a therapist. Regardless of whether you’re trying to work through a problem, grow as a person or couple, or just need someone to listen, seeking therapy means seeking change – and I think that takes guts! No matter what we’re discussing, my focus is always on seeing your world as you see it – because I believe that real healing begins when we have a compassionate and non-judgmental space in which we can freely express ourselves and feel understood.

In the balancing act of our energetic, emotional, spiritual, and psychological spaces, we often find ourselves struggling to produce the desired outcomes. We fight the transformational opportunities and trade them for outdated mindsets. We find ourselves repeating life lessons and losing inspiration along the way. What is the purpose? What is your meaning? Why do you persevere? Our internal motivations are responsible for our behaviors, but many of them are imbedded in the subconscious in need of a surface boost! With insight, we may heal.

I consider myself experienced in working with young women with anxiety, depression, trauma, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I have eclectic experience as a therapist having worked with men and women ages 7 and up on concerns including breakups and divorce, intimate partner violence, anger, and self esteem. Though I enjoy working with most populations, my passion lies with helping survivors of emotional abuse and sexual trauma rediscover their identities and learn to trust themselves as their own greatest ally. I also hope to help survivors develop a positive view of their bodies, sex, and sexuality.

Culturally Sensitive Therapists
How does culturally sensitive therapy work?
A culturally sensitive therapist will tailor their approach to therapy based on the individual client’s background. This may include changing their style of interaction (asking open-ended questions vs. being the “expert” voice), their affect (seeming warm or “neutral”), how much personal information they disclose about themselves, and more. It’s also important for a culturally sensitive therapist to acknowledge larger societal forces that may impact their client due to the client’s background.
How effective is culturally sensitive therapy?
Some professionals have expressed concern about highlighting cultural differences in therapy, suggesting that it might promote stereotypes and harm the therapeutic bond; however, many experts agree that cultural sensitivity tends to strengthen the connection between therapist and client and help clients feel heard and understood. A culturally sensitive approach to therapy can be especially helpful for those not in the cultural majority, especially when combined with proven therapies like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
What are the limitations of a culturally sensitive approach to therapy?
While being culturally sensitive is generally a valuable skill to have, a therapist cannot treat every client from a similar background the same way. Each client is an individual with their own values, personal preferences, and life experiences that will need to be explored during therapy. In addition, it’s rare for a therapist and client to have identical backgrounds, so there may be some cross-cultural differences to navigate during therapy, but a culturally sensitive therapist can do so with empathy and respect.
Can culturally sensitive therapy be done online?
Yes, online therapy using a culturally sensitive approach can be beneficial. Therapy can sometimes be difficult to access for clients from diverse backgrounds and socioeconomic standing. The array of mental health support available through the internet makes it possible for clients to find a good therapist match regardless of where they live.
