When it comes time to choose a therapist, you may prefer a Latinx therapist over therapists of other races or ethnicities. This is understandable, considering that no other therapists can quite understand your cultural experience like another Latinx person can.

Whether you are located in downtown Tacoma, Central, Eastside Enact, Fircrest, or even Newtacoma, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.

The Benefits of Talk Therapy with a Latinx Therapist

Some Latinx individuals choose to work with a Latinx therapist over a therapist from another background for several reasons, including:

• You may feel more at ease with a Latinx therapist and connect with them on a deeper level.
• Latinx therapists are more apt to understand your how your cultural background affects your life and experiences.
• Some mental health issues may stem from racial injustice, bias, or crimes, and a Latinx therapist may feel safer to you.
• You may feel more comfortable and be able to let your guard down more with a Latinx therapist than if you feel like you must be aware of and fight stereotypes.
• You may feel more comfortable sharing deep-seated issues with someone of the same cultural background.
