I agree with you that, as a counselor, dealing with multicultural clients can be challenging. However, counselors need to observe cultural sensitivity and awareness for the best results. Prejudices and biases emanating from cultural differences can interfere with the recovery process if not observed keenly hence the need for a counselor to demonstrate competency. I agree that counselors show that they are well versed in cultural knowledge, as this makes relating with clients easier. They also build a strong relationship with their counselors, making patient recovery easier. Moreover, I agree that managing expectations are something counselors should master. Notably, Christian counselors should not expect their Muslim clients to have the same lifestyle as their Christian ones. She should be well informed about what is acceptable for one religion and what is not acceptable for another one. Like you, I also think there is nothing wrong with challenging moral values and beliefs as long as the correct channels are employed.
