PsychologyToday.com
Psychology Today's Therapist Directory lists clinical and licensed professionals that provide mental health services in the US and internationally. This tool allows you to look for a therapist that fits your needs (i.e., LGBTQ+ friendly, cultural sensitivities, insurance, etc.) so that you can find a therapist that you feel most comfortable with. 

Shreveport-Bossier Black Counselors Association
Shreveport-Bossier Black Counselors Association was created to help reduce the stigma about mental health by raising awareness and advocating for the mental health issues and contributing factors within the black community.

Therapy for Black Girls
TherapyforBlackGirls.com is an online space dedicated to encouraging the mental wellness of Black women and girls. So often the stigma surrounding mental health issues and therapy prevents Black women from taking the step of seeing a therapist. This space was developed to present mental health topics in a way that feels more accessible and relevant.

Therapy for Black Men
TherapyForBlackMen.org was born from the idea that Black men and boys face unique challenges and stigmatization, and therefore need a dedicated space for seeking and finding mental health support. We’ve made it our mission to strip away that stigmatization and ease the process of finding help. By providing targeted resources and a database filled with professionals equipped to support men of color, our users can now obtain the help they need and deserve.
