“When people ask me what multicultural counseling means, I pause. Words, memories, experiences, feelings, and thoughts come rushing in - layer upon layer.”

Multicultural counseling can mean exploring race and ethnicity, cultural traditions, immigration and acculturation, generational differences, gender, identity, values, and the experiences that have shaped you.
Sometimes, it’s about understanding where a pattern came from.
