Abstract
While disparities in mental health access, utilization, and treatment outcomes continue to persist for racial and ethnic minority (REM) immigrant individuals, delivering culturally competent care continues to be a challenge for therapists as it is unclear how therapists practice theory-driven concepts of multicultural counseling competence (MCC). Historically and presently, MCC research has focused predominantly on White therapists and constructs related to gender and race, and inquiries related to the construct of immigration have mostly focused on the immigrant client. Despite the imperative for therapists’ self-awareness of all sociocultural identity factors that impact their social locations and relationships with clients, the experiences of REM therapists who identify as immigrants has been largely ignored. This qualitative study seeks to add to existing literature by exploring the perceptions of currently practicing REM immigrant psychologists in their work with REM immigrant clients.
