Why therapy in Spanish can help
Talking about emotions, family and painful experiences is easier in the language you feel in. With a Spanish-speaking or bilingual therapist you do not need to translate yourself, you can bring in family members who prefer Spanish, and cultural context (family roles, migration, faith, stigma around mental health) is understood without long explanations.
Useful questions before you start: are sessions fully in Spanish or mixed? Where did they learn and practise Spanish? Have they worked with clients from your country or background? Can paperwork and assessments be in Spanish?
