Here’s a crowd-sourced list of progressive Asian American Christian therapists. (Included in this list are several clinicians who do only psychological assessment, not therapy; they are noted accordingly.)
*** Like all PAAC members, the therapists on this list have a range of theological stances. We do not disclose this information (e.g., regarding LGBTQIA+ affirmation) on the website because several therapists listed are affirming, but could face consequences from their church communities if this information were public. If you’d like to know more about a therapist’s stance on this or any question, please contact the therapist directly or DM Liz Lin, who would be happy to ask on your behalf. ***
