About Us

At The Multicultural Counseling Institute, we are passionate about fostering a more equitable and inclusive field of psychology. Our organization was founded on the principle that cultural and diversity education is not merely a compliance task, but an essential component of ethical and effective practice.

• Encouraging Self-Reflection: Providing frameworks and opportunities for psychologists to examine their own biases, assumptions, and cultural conditioning.

• Bridging Theory and Practice: Translating complex theoretical concepts into practical, applicable strategies for clinical work, assessment, research, and/or supervision.
