Abstract
The mental health system in the United States faces challenges in adequately engaging the Latinx population with modalities that conform to the Latinx worldview, which demands incorporating holistic, family-centric, and trauma-informed models of treatment. Service provision and innovation is hampered by lack of research focusing on this population, the low numbers of Latinx clinicians available, and the lack of treatment adaptations to meet their needs. Psychotherapeutic interventions employed in the Latin American context are potentially useful when working with acculturating Latinx. In this article attention is given to barriers and facilitators for incorporating Family constellation therapy—a holistic trauma-informed treatment modality that offers conflict resolution through connection with ancestry.

Summary
They are identified as Hispanic or Latino in the United States, people in Latin. Among the many implications of this growth is the potential increase in mental health service utilization by members of the Latinx community, including by survivors of and descendants of those who experienced trauma. There remains a challenge that Latinx have underutilized available mental health care services and might continue to do so Understanding factors that affect the mental health of Latinx will be crucial for adopting service changes that can meet their needs. One of these factors is a client’s degree of acculturation, which refers to the level of a person’s adaptation into a different culture (Romero et al 2013).
