Adult psychologyNorwest · The Hills District
Mandarin-speaking psychologist in Norwest and the Hills District
You do not have to find every word in English to begin.
At Integrity Psychology, therapy and psychological assessment start with understanding your concerns in context. Speak in Mandarin, English, or use both as you talk about what matters to you.
For adults, children and parents · In person in Norwest
More than a language preference
The meaning behind
the words matters.
Some experiences are easier to describe in Mandarin; others may come more naturally in English. You can use the language that fits the conversation, without needing to know psychological terms.
Family relationships, cultural expectations and life experiences can shape the meaning of a concern. We make room for your perspective rather than assuming that every Mandarin-speaking person or family has the same experience.
For your child
Different voices, one family
A parent may prefer Mandarin while a child or teenager feels more comfortable in English. Both perspectives can help us understand the concern.
Children & parentsWhen considering assessment
Begin with the background
Tell us about language use at home and school, and the questions you hope an assessment will answer. We can discuss an appropriate next step.

Before we speak
A few things you
might be wondering.
A first enquiry can be simple. You do not need to prepare your full story.
Do I need to choose just one language?
No. You can let us know your preference and move between English and Mandarin as needed during the conversation.
Can I speak Mandarin if my child prefers English?
Yes. Parents can explain concerns in Mandarin, while a child or teenager can participate in English. We can discuss how each family member may be involved.
Can my first phone conversation be in Mandarin?
Yes. When requesting a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation, tell us that you would prefer Mandarin. The call is an introduction, not a psychology appointment.
What if I am unsure about therapy or assessment?
You can begin with the questions you have. We can help clarify whether therapy, parent support or psychological assessment may be appropriate, including discussing language considerations for assessment.
