Many people might prefer a multiracial therapist as they might feel more connected, safer, and less guarded with a mental health professional who is multiracial than with someone who isn’t.

The trouble is that, for a long time, it was hard to find multiracial therapists - but not anymore. We’re here to help. Whether you are located in downtown Santa Barbara, the suburbs of Santa Barbara, other nearby places such as Ventura, Lompoc, or anywhere else in California, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.

Benefits of Seeing a Mixed Race Therapist

Multiracial people face some unique challenges that non-multiracial people may not be able to relate to. Some of the most common issues cited by mixed-race people include:

• Identity crises
• Social issues
• Loneliness
• Estrangement

Nobody can understand these issues as experienced by a mixed-race person quite like someone who has had a shared experience. Here are a couple of reasons you should consider a mixed-race therapist:

• A mixed-race therapist may be more capable of picking up on mixed-race-related issues than therapists of other races.
• You may feel more comfortable sharing intimate details of your life and thoughts with someone you feel connected to.

Race is not the only factor to consider when choosing a therapist. To learn more, read this article about how to know if a therapist is right for you.
