Multilingual Counseling Center is a mental health service provider dedicated to serving the multilingual community in the San Francisco Bay Area. Established over 20 years ago, our mission is to provide culturally sensitive and language-sensitive mental health services to individuals, children, and families. Our experienced therapists are trained to work with clients from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
Our Services
We offer a range of services to cater to the unique needs of our multilingual clients. These include:
Therapeutic Approaches
- Attachment Theory: Our therapists are trained in attachment theory, which focuses on the importance of early emotional bonds and how they impact emotional well-being.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Our therapists use CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and foster adaptive behaviors.
- Cross-Cultural Therapy: We recognize the significance of cultural influences on mental health and strive to create a culturally sensitive therapeutic environment. Our therapists integrate cultural competence to bridge understanding gaps and ensure respectful and inclusive therapy tailored to each client's cultural background.
- Psychodynamic Theory: Rooted in Freud's ideas, psychodynamic therapy explores the unconscious mind's role in shaping behavior. Our therapists aim to help clients gain insight into unconscious processes, understand the impact of past experiences, and work through unresolved conflicts to foster personal growth.
Our Therapists
Our team of experienced therapists is diverse in their approaches and theoretical orientations. We have therapists trained in various modalities, including attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, cross-cultural therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
Our Principles
At Multilingual Counseling Center, we believe in the importance of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and honesty in the therapeutic process. We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel valued and understood.

Counseling Services: A Mixed Bag
Positive Experience
Farnoush Nikpour had a great experience with the counseling services, praising the counselor for being understanding and helpful. They felt grateful for the referral and appreciated the availability of help when needed.
Negative Experience
AVintage had a poor experience with the services, feeling frustrated with the lack of professionalism and communication. They were referred to a counselor but never received a call, and the director didn't remember their conversation or their name. They felt disrespected and didn't recommend the services.
Neutral Experience
Jami Grayer's experience was mid-range, feeling comfortable with the multiethnic counseling group but not elaborating further on their experience.
