Pilsen Wellness Center values the uniqueness of the bicultural person. The Center’s supportive programs facilitate a process of healing for participants and their families through our staff’s in-depth understanding of how levels of acculturation, socioeconomic factors, and the immigrant experience impact services provision.

Our expertise rests on our ability to grasp the significance of acculturation and how life experiences are encoded in language. Facilitating the client’s ability to access the affective or “emotional” aspect of a problem through the language in which it was experienced is a fundamental treatment component. Language and its subtleties, strongly related to identity, and expertise in treating acculturation difficulties are a hallmark of our services provision.
