摘要

The application of Liberation Psychology in career counseling with immigrant, bicultural youth of colorz was explored, emphasizing the framework’s potential to empower marginalized youth within the school counseling context. Liberation Psychology, developed to address issues of systemic oppression and cultural identity in mental health, provides a powerful lens for understanding the unique challenges faced by immigrant youth who navigate multiple cultural expectations. Key concepts of Liberation Psychology, such as critical consciousness (CC), problematization, de-ideologization, recovery of historical memory, and praxis are introduced to emphasize the approach’s relevance in addressing the socio-political and identity-related struggles of bicultural youth. A case study, offers practical recommendations for school and career counselors, advocating for interventions that respect and integrate students’ cultural backgrounds, promote critical awareness, and support agency. This approach not only aligns with the ethical mandates for culturally responsive practice but also fosters resilience, belonging, and self-efficacy among immigrant youth, positioning them to succeed in their personal and professional journeys.
