Breaking Barriers: Ana Aluisy's Take on Culturally Sensitive Therapy

Talking about emotions is something that is so difficult, even in our primary language is difficult, right? It just says: you know what I'm going to go to that appointment because in my mind I think that person can empathize with me.
Ever wondered how therapy can be tailored to fit diverse cultural backgrounds? In this episode of 'Finding Help: Therapy, Recovery, & Community', host Matt Shedd sits down with Ana Aluisy, a therapist specializing in multicultural couples counseling. They dive into the unique hurdles minority communities face when seeking mental health support and the importance of cultural empathy in therapy sessions.
Ana shares her experiences working with clients during the COVID-19 pandemic, explaining why more people are turning to therapy now more than ever. She also touches on the misconceptions many clients have about their self-worth and how she helps them navigate these feelings. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the dynamics of multicultural couples counseling to writing a book aimed at the Spanish-speaking community.
If you're curious about how therapy can be more inclusive and accessible, this episode is a must-listen.
