Multicultural therapy deals with the concerns of anyone who is marginalized in society.  This can be due to a person’s race, ethnicity, religion, gender identification, income, disability, or other social factor falls outside of the majority. Issues that arise for minority groups, such as oppression, racism, and marginalization, are relevant and recognized. Multicultural therapy can be applied to many other therapeutic frameworks and is appropriate for all ages and individual and family work.  The therapist has increased cultural awareness and places an increased emphasis on individualism than in some traditional therapy settings that take a more universal approach.
