Removing barriers to mental health treatment in the Asian-American community

While we are experts in caring for people with a variety of health needs, we know that accessing behavioral health care can be more challenging for Asian individuals and families because of stigma, cultural expectations and beliefs.

Here to support you, we provide behavioral health care that is accessible and culturally sensitive. Our bilingual doctors speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English and offer care that respects your culture, experiences and values. We support people facing stress, anxiety, depression and other behavioral health challenges and can help with insurance questions and, if needed, provide a confidential interpreter to make sure care is comfortable and supportive.

Testing

Even though you may want to brush off your symptoms, it's important for you to recognize how you feel and talk to your doctor. Everyone can feel sad or lonely at times. The sooner you reach out for care, the better you'll feel.

If your doctor thinks you may have a mental health condition, they may recommend tests to help us accurately diagnose the cause of your symptoms. Tests we offer include:

  • Psychiatric consultations: Being evaluated by a medical provider specializing in psychiatry
  • Psychopharmacological assessments: Being evaluated by a medical provider and pharmacist to evaluate your medications or possible medication options
  • Psychosocial evaluations: Having social workers or other healthcare workers evaluate your social environment and the possible impact on your mental health
