Search for Therapist??
Question: Does anyone know a good website to search for a therapist by gender, race, city, etc...?
I am looking for a black, female therapist in my area.
Thanks in adnvance
Answers: Well, you can start with the Board of Psychology in your area. You didn't say where you live, but just in case it is California, I will give you this link. If not, it's just an example of a Board of Psychology.
http://www.psychboard.ca.gov/
Also, since gender and race is important to you, you should make sure of your psychologist's theorhetical orientation. Just because she is female and black doesn't mean she will have what you are looking for- although I have to admit, it may be more likely.
I would like to think that a competent psychologist would be able to help you just based on their qualifications. Also, here is an argument I would make for another race/gender- if you have some issue with a white male for example, and you get through a successful treatment with a female who is black, you may STILL see whites as them ; whereas if you are helped by a white or white male, you may come out of treatment realizing that some whites are bad, and some whites understand you. And that some men are abusive, and some are helpful. That might be more important than anything your therapist could tell you.
I wish you the best.
