People within various ethnic groups may find difficulty in utilizing mental health services for a multitude of reasons. Reasons may include limited access to health care, stigma associated with mental health, and/or challenges with trusting and finding a therapist who is knowledgeable about disparities in ethnic communities. At Rising Hope Counseling and Wellness we walk with clients through some of these barriers to enhance themselves. We feel there is power in talking to someone who understands some of spoken and unspoken cultural nuances. There is also power in having someone look like you to speak healing, rest and rejuvenation into your life.
