Finding a Bilingual Therapist in GSO

Who Can Benefit from Bilingual Therapy?

As the co-founder of Santos Counseling, my story is deeply tied to the work we do today. I’m a first-generation immigrant and the first in my family to graduate from college. I know what it’s like to grow up translating for your parents, navigating two cultures, and trying to find space to succeed in spaces that don’t always understand your background.

I guess looking back, much of my experiences paved the way to where I am today and nudge me to where I hope to be tomorrow. My experience shaped my mission — to create a mental health practice that is inclusive, culturally affirming, and accessible to the communities that are often underserved.

Bilingual therapy is especially helpful for:

  • Spanish-speaking adults and families

  • First-generation children of immigrants navigating dual identity

  • Immigrant and refugee clients processing trauma and acculturation.

  • Bilingual couples or families who want therapy that respects both languages and cultures.

  • Parents who want a counselor that can communicate directly with them in Spanish.

Language Is More Than Words

I find that when I sit with my clients we connect in many languages. Some are formed in words while others in gestures. For many individuals and families, speaking in their native language is a vital part of self-expression. For me, there are unique moments that I get to share in therapy. Such as, when a person digs for a word and then finally says it in their native language. In this moment, they experience a mixture of relief and understanding.

When you get to work with a counselor that speaks your language, it can allow you to tie emotions, memories, and personal experiences more effectively. When therapy takes place in your first language, you’re more likely to:

  • Express emotions fully without struggling to “translate” feelings or thoughts.

  • Share personal or cultural experiences more clearly and without the pressure to get it right.

  • Feel seen and heard on a deeper emotional and cultural level.

What Makes Therapy Effective?

According to the APA, the strength of the therapeutic alliance—the professional relationship between counselor and client—is one of the most reliable predictors of successful therapy outcomes. The article brings attention in noting, that therapy is two times as effective in the clients native language.
