In the last 3 decades, demographic changes in the United States have led to a need for greater cultural competence in the provision of behavioral health services to immigrant populations. Specific information regarding the ethnically diverse immigrant groups from the former Soviet Union (FSU), their acculturation process, and their attitudes toward psychological help is limited. Based on a conceptual framework consisting of theories of acculturation and acculturative stress, this quantitative, cross-sectional study examined predictors of attitudes toward professional psychological help among 1st-generation adult immigrants from the FSU (N = 158). Data were collected using convenience sampling and online surveys. The results of multiple regression indicated that being a woman, having previous counseling experience in the United States, and having a higher level of acculturation to American culture predicted more positive attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Participants with a higher level of acculturation to the native culture had more negative attitudes toward counseling. Other study variables such as age, education, income level, and previous psychotherapy experience in the FSU were not found to be statistically significant in predicting attitudes toward professional counseling in this population. An independent-samples t test indicated that representatives of nondominant FSU cultures had more positive attitudes toward counseling than their Russian counterparts. The results of this study could increase psychologists' and counselors' awareness of attitudes toward psychological help in this immigrant group and provide information that they can use to improve their cultural sensitivity when providing behavioral health services to this diverse population.
