Abstract

In this article, we provide an overview on how to approach matters of forging a therapeutic alliance, empathetic listening, addressing issues related to obtaining informed consent, and limits of confidentiality, with cultural humility and nonjudgmental curiosity while working with diverse immigrants groups. We also discuss the use of broaching to discuss culturally sensitive topics with immigrant children and families The clinical pearls can be applied to different clinical scenarios and a variety of cross-cultural encounters.

Keywords: Acculturation; Acculturative stress; Culture; Immigrants.
