Description

There is no universal “Asian” experience. The Asian Diasporic community is incredibly diverse and these clients encompass people from various countries, languages, religions, and traditions.

As a therapist, navigating the intricate tapestry of backgrounds and experiences care can feel overwhelming. How can you make sure you’re getting it right without becoming a cultural expert?

But here’s the thing, you don’t have to be.

In this training I’ll show you how you can create a therapeutic environment that truly understands and respects the unique needs of each Asian identifying client…

So watch me, award winning mental health therapist and educator, Dr. Monica Band, LPC, CRC, NCC, ASC, CCC and learn how to apply an intersectional and culturally responsive lens when treating the diverse range of prominent issues within the Asian American and Asian Diaspora communities. I will help you:

• Break down cultural barriers surrounding mental health issues within Asian American communities.
• Navigate diverse communication styles and non-verbal cues to connect authentically with clients.
• Customize assessments for precise diagnoses and personalized treatment.
• Offer culturally tailored interventions for maximum client engagement and treatment commitment
