Assignment:

Sheng is coming into therapy for the first time and is very nervous about receiving therapy services. During session she is trying to determine if therapy is something she wants to pursue to help her work through her struggle with depression. The therapist will try to help Sheng understand the benefits of therapy and help her reflect on her struggle with depression and support her in making the decision for future services. Sheng is a 30 year old Hmong woman who lives in St. Paul, Minnesota with her parents and her 2 young children. After she and her husband divorced 3 years ago she became very depressed. She was recently hospitalized for suicidal ideations and was diagnosed with Major Depression.

After her stay in the hospital she was referred to Adult mental health case management services and they suggest that she obtain individual therapy. Sheng comes from a very traditional family where her parents want her to seek a shaman healer to help her work through her issues instead of going to therapy. However, she does not feel comfortable with that approach and agreed to try therapy first. Sheng is very nervous about attending therapy due to the fact that she's afraid others will judge her and call her "crazy."
