Abstract
ABSTRACT Within the therapeutic setting there have been few ethical considerations deliberated when examining the language barrier between therapists and Non-Native English-Speaking Immigrant (NNESI) clients. The literature reports NNESIs encounter several challenges such as the migration process, experiencing acculturative stress, discrimination, and racism, which in turn impacts their mental health outcomes. These accrued barriers lead NNESI to seek out mental health services. This paper explores the ethical considerations Native-English Speaking and Bilingual Psychologists must consider when providing counseling services to Non-Native English Speakers. These considerations include Third-Party Services, Informed Consent, Cultural Competency, Boundaries of Competency, and Multiple Relationships. For the purpose of this paper, the terms “bilingual” and “multilingual” will be used interchangeably to refer to a person who speaks another language in conjunction with English.
