Thankfully, racial justice therapists are available not only to help you heal but to empower you to commit to racial injustice. Whether you are located in downtown Santa Cruz, the suburbs of Santa Cruz, other nearby places such as Campbell, Morgan Hill, or anywhere else in California, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.
