Therapist of Color Directory

Life After School Series

There is no shame in seeking help. Even if you feel your experiences aren’t “that bad,” therapy can be beneficial for anyone looking for an objective opinion. Finding a therapist who just “gets you” can also be an exhausting process. We’ve put together a growing directory of therapists of color in the Pierce County area to help.
