We believe that mental health care should reflect the diverse realities of the people it serves.
By helping clients and therapists find one another through shared values of empathy, justice, and inclusion, we hope to foster not just individual healing — but a more connected, compassionate world.
When clients can choose a provider who aligns with their worldview, safety becomes possible, and healing can take root. From that place of safety, many find greater clarity, resilience, and the courage to live more authentically and fully.
At The Progressive Therapist Directory, our mission is simple: to help people connect with mental health professionals who understand them their values, experiences, and hopes for healing. We believe therapy works best when clients feel seen, respected, and safe. For many, that means finding a therapist who shares a commitment to social justice, inclusivity, and compassion. Our directory exists to make those connections easier not to divide, but to bring people together through care that feels authentic, affirming, and effective.
Everyone deserves access to a therapist who truly “gets” them.
We celebrate diversity in all forms and support therapists who practice with cultural humility and empathy.
Therapy is most effective when clients and therapists share mutual understanding and respect — we help make those matches possible.
By connecting clients and therapists with shared values, we strengthen the broader mental health community and help reduce stigma around seeking care.
We recognize that systemic racism has deeply shaped the field of mental health, limiting opportunities for therapists from BIPOC and global majority communities and creating barriers to care for individuals seeking therapy.
To help address these inequities, The Progressive Therapist Directory offers free listings to mental health providers who identify as BIPOC or global majority. This is one way we are actively working to decolonize therapy — by redistributing access, visibility, and opportunity within the profession.
We believe that representation matters, and that supporting BIPOC and global majority therapists helps create a mental health field that better reflects and serves the diverse communities it exists to help.
