Therapists are charged with being culturally competent and culturally humble. This means that therapists seek to increase their understanding of the different cultures their clients come from and that they are open-minded about how each client perceives their own culture.

A culturally humble therapist wants to learn how to best accommodate you in the therapy office. But they will not know how to accommodate you unless you let them know what you need. To help you identify what you need, here is a checklist you can share with your therapist.

I am an aca-clinician: part academic, part clinician. As a PhD candidate, I conduct research and publish my findings in scholarly journals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I meet with clients, collaborate with other therapists, and work to disseminate research findings. I am also (d)eaf. My hearing loss started at the age of 4 years old and progressed slowly over the years. I navigate the hearing world as bi-modal, with a cochlear implant, a hearing aid, and many accommodations.

  1. I do like the manner in which you have presented this specific situation and it does give me personally a lot of fodder for consideration. On the other hand, coming from what precisely I have observed, I simply just trust as the actual comments stack on that individuals stay on point and in no way get started upon a tirade of some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this exceptional point and whilst I can not agree with the idea in totality, I regard the point of view.
