Family Therapy in Spanish
When a family wants support, language can affect who feels able to participate fully. You may want a clinician who can work in Spanish and also understands the needs of the family members who will attend.
Aidé Merito is the Shoreline clinician specifically listed for family and teen work in Spanish. This page does not assign family therapy to every bilingual member of the team.
Maybe this sounds familiar
01
Your family wants sessions in Spanish.
02
A teen and parent need a shared language for care.
03
You want a clinician with family experience.
04
Participation or privacy questions need clarification.
01 · Understand
Describe who is seeking support
Let the practice know the ages of the people involved, the broad concern and your language preference. That helps with provider matching and a discussion of whether the service is appropriate. Detailed family or health information should go through the approved clinical process.
Aidé brings a person-centered approach and documented experience with the Latinx community, military families and children in foster care. Those experiences inform her profile; they do not mean every family needs the same kind of work.
02 · Practice
Clarify participation and privacy
Ask how video sessions would be arranged, who should attend and how consent and privacy are discussed. If some participants prefer English and others Spanish, raise that before scheduling so the clinician can explain what is workable.
Family therapy is not automatically a court evaluation, mediation service or custody recommendation. Describe any outside request for documentation directly. The consultation can help establish fit and scope without assuming that one service covers every family need.
03 · Choose Your Next Step
Language and service both matter
Dina Abdelaal and Aidé Merito offer sessions in Spanish. Their service focus differs, so matching should include what kind of support you are seeking as well as the language you prefer.
For family and teen care in Spanish, ask specifically about Aidé. The consultation can clarify provider availability and the appropriate next step without assuming that every bilingual clinician offers every service.
