Therapist Directory
-
Healing in Colour offers a directory/list of BIPOC therapists with anti-oppressive values across what is currently known as Canada.
-
No. Healing In Colour does not employ the therapists in our directory or handle their bookings. If you find a therapist on the directory that you are interested in working with, please click/tap through to their website and contact them directly.
-
We would recommend starting by using filters to narrow down your search.
Next, you can look through the photos of the therapists in your area, and if there’s anyone you might be interested in working with, click/tap through to their website. There, you can read a bit about them and the work that they do.
If you find a therapist whose website resonates with you, you can contact them directly using the “connect” button at the bottom of each profile or contact them using the information on their website. We would recommend asking them questions about their experience in working with the issues you’d like to bring to counselling, as well as any other questions you might have, and follow your intuition about whether they seem like a good fit for you.
Healing in Colour is not able to make any endorsements or guarantees about the practitioners listed on our site, so this stage of asking questions is very important.
You may need to try a few full sessions with a therapist to decide if you would like to continue building a therapeutic relationship with them. Remember that you have the right to leave therapy at any time, and only you can decide whether a particular therapist is right for you.

Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to vet all of the therapists in our directory, or maintain detailed and updated records about the experience, expertise, and background of each therapist. Therefore, we are not able to offer specific recommendations.
