Finding Black Therapists in California

Learn about therapy, what to expect, and how to find the right therapist for your needs.

Cultural Competence in Therapy

Cultural responsiveness matters in therapy. A therapist who understands your cultural context, experiences with racism and discrimination, and the nuances of navigating the world as a Black person can provide care that feels more relevant, respectful, and connected to your life.

Finding the Right Fit

When looking for a therapist, consider their experience, specialties, and therapeutic approach. Reading their bio can help you get a sense of their background and perspective, and many therapists offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions and get a better feel for their personality and whether they may be a good fit. Trust your instincts about whether someone feels like a good fit for you.

What to Expect

Therapy is a collaborative relationship. Your therapist will work with you on your goals in a way that respects your experiences and cultural context. You can expect a confidential space where you can be yourself and work on what matters to you.
