Finding a Therapist

You should be comfortable and safe with your therapist. I recommend meeting with a few therapists, if you are able, to find the right fit for you. Check out this article for considerations in choosing a therapist. In addition to contacting an independent provider like me, here are some ways to access therapy or find a therapist:

• Contact your health insurance company to find a directory of therapists in your area who accept your insurance
  • For Kaiser Northern California, you no longer need a referral from your doctor to access mental health services: call your Kaiser’s mental health services directly where they will assess and direct you to services.
• If you have Medi-Cal or no health insurance, contact your California county’s mental health and substance abuse services
• East Bay sliding scale therapy groups list

• Search on directories:
  •  InnoPsych for therapists of color
  • Gaylesta is a Psychotherapist Association for Gender and Sexual Diversity providing listings
  • Search by specialties on Therapy Den, Good Therapy, and Inclusive Therapists
