Erik Findley, a graduate counseling psychology student at the University of Saint Mary, interviews Ustadha Hosai Mojaddidi to diversify his understanding of other cultures and the Islamic faith-based mental health perspective so he may help future American-Muslim clients more effectively and understand some common psychosocial concerns experienced by Americans who are Muslims.

This brief multicultural competence interview is for Erik's graduate multi-cultural counseling class and released with his permission.
