Cultural Adjustment Therapists in Upper West Side, New York

Cultural adjustment is the process of adapting to the environment and different expectations of a new, unfamiliar culture. All adjustments take time, and some people will become comfortable faster than do others.

If you find yourself experiencing prolonged difficulty adapting to a new setting, you may be dealing with an adjustment disorder.
