Cultural Awareness

As a culturally responsive practice, we integrate cultural diversity and anti-racism into mental health care. We seek to serve marginalized populations by valuing diversity, working towards understanding differences, acknowledging systemic racism, and recognizing our own inherent biases.

At Medens Health, we believe that everyone should have access to the hope, clarity, and progress that comes with an accurate diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan. We offer over 80 different psychological tests to identify your challenges, strengths, needs, and any existing mental health conditions.

Medens Health is a culturally responsive practice

We value diversity, seek to understand differences, and develop services and supports to meet the unique needs of each community. Our staff and trainees include individuals of different backgrounds to match the community in which we serve, including African American, Chinese, Latinx, Korean, LGBTQ+, Russian and Turkish.

Because we open our doors to anyone requiring mental health care, we don’t service a specific race, culture, or community. We offer support for clients of all backgrounds and income levels. This means that our practitioners work with multiple diverse communities across Arizona, California, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, and Washington.

At Medens Health, we recognize the danger of providing “color blind” mental health care

  • Listen to your partner (and really hear them!)
  • Express what you truly mean
  • Communicate your needs
  • Argue productively (yes, arguing is positive when done right!)
  • Break the negative cycle you and your partner have been stuck in
  • Work towards understanding on issues such as finances, parenting, intimacy, and division of household duties

Our Social Responsibility

As an anti-racist and culturally aware mental health center, part of our responsibility is to ensure that our clinicians and trainees think about the different cultures and races that are within the community we serve. The most important responsibility we have, however, is to educate them to recognize and process their own biases, stereotypes, and racial identity in a way that allows them to best serve those populations who have been wronged by the mental health system in the past. Together, we hope to build trust and lift up these historically marginalized communities.
