Mandarin & Cross Cultural Therapy

Service Description

中文心理咨询 / Therapy between languages and cultures Bilingual and cross-cultural therapy is not simply therapy translated into another language. It is a way of working with the emotional worlds that live inside language, family, culture, migration, belonging, duty, shame, achievement, love and loss. I work with English-speaking clients, Mandarin-speaking clients, Chinese students, bicultural adults, international families, intercultural couples, and people who live between cultures, languages, roles and expectations. Some clients speak mostly in English. Some speak mostly in Mandarin. Some move between both, depending on what is being touched. The therapy can hold that movement. You do not need to make yourself smaller, clearer, simpler, or more acceptable before you arrive.
