Pilsen Wellness Center Inc

Pilsen Wellness Center’s expertise rests on its ability to grasp the implications of acculturation and how life experiences are encoded in language. Facilitating client access to the “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 service provision.
