- Loneliness
- Thai-Western couples therapy
- Inability to speak to anyone in their mother tongue
- Language barriers
- Cultural differences
- Lack of relationships and friends
- They may feel homesick

Benefits of Asian Health Services in the US for Native Thai Speakers
Several individuals might often wonder as Thai residents living in the US whether they should be seeking help professionally in their mother tongue or just in English.
Let us take a look at some of the benefits of health services in your own language:
- Speaking in your mother tongue: It is no coincidence that speaking in your mother tongue has the unique ability and power to access your earliest childhood memories. This is due to the fact that these memories are indeed stored in your brain in your mother tongue and sometimes we may need a trigger word in order to access those emotions and feelings.
- You can access different parts of yourself: When we speak in our mother tongue, we are able to better connect which allows for a more genuine and more authentic experience.
- It can make you feel more understood: Clients have reported feeling more deeply understood when seeking therapy in their own mother tongue. Not having to worry about what they want to say and wondering about the translation saves a lot of time and allows for more focus and emphasis on real issues.
- It can help you feel empowered: In everyday life, speaking a language that you are not fluent in or isn’t your own, may feel daunting and you may also feel at a significant disadvantage from native speakers around you. Being able to speak in Thai may help clients feel more empowered in their language and personal culture.
