Therapists

Here’s a crowdsourced 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.) All therapists on this list identify as egalitarian and queer-affirming.

** During the COVID pandemic, teletherapy (i.e., therapy via video-conference platform) is the norm. Thus, clients can see any provider who is licensed in their state, regardless of where they live. **
