Introduction The importance of race and culture was not emphasized in the theory and practice of counseling diverse clients until the 1950s and 1960s (Sue et al., 1989 ). Continued advances in counseling applicable to women of color are needed. It is essential to understand the identity development patterns, worldviews, and values ​​of clients who identify specifically with this population (handbook for women counselors). Furthermore, an examination of possible challenges such as acculturation processes, racism/discrimination, language and its effects on identity development, as well as colorism issues should be considered, if applicable to clients (integration of multicultural concepts ). Given the obstacles women of color face, feminist therapy can be used as a catalyst for empowerment. With the use of this approach, clients and therapists participate in an analysis. A feminist therapist must be aware that, like the client, she is steeped in patriarchal beliefs, so the process of developing methods of empowerment and recognizing disempowerment is ongoing. The feminist therapist must also be open to ongoing exploration of the influence of patriarchal assumptions of privilege and hierarchy on her work and clients' lives. The outcome of the treatment is not based on therapeutic goals, but the focus is on a collaborative approach with the client to achieve empowerment. This process is evaluated by therapists, through self-evaluation and client satisfaction. During sessions, feminist therapists ask clients what their goals are and suggest ways to achieve them. Both discuss, negotiate and renegotiate these methods. However, the goal of therapy becomes discovering the client's desires when clients express that they do not know their goals. It is important that feminist therapists do not impose their own beliefs about what the client's goals should be in therapy.
