Immigration to the United States presents unique stressors for families including acculturation and social marginalization. Children of immigrants occupy a social location where their family's heritage intersects with the culture in which they are being raised. When families emigrate from non-European countries, the cultural dynamics may be more pronounced affecting the mental health and well-being of children even as they move into adulthood. This phenomenological study explored the experiences of wellness among adult children of non-European immigrants to the United States as they navigate these stressors. Individual interviews with ten participants revealed four themes: (a) spirituality as a guide, (b) collectivism, (c) holistic wellness practices, and (d) cultural and generational tensions. Implications include the value of incorporating spirituality into counseling and the importance of engaging adult clients of non-European immigrants in culturally responsive counseling through a holistic wellness lens
