How to Find a Black Therapist NJ

If you are looking for a counselor, therapist, or psychologist- I’d like to help you find someone who can help.

I want to help you find a black therapist NJ.

It’s about finding someone who you feel gets you, knows the culture, and you feel comfortable with.  I get it! 

Keep it Real Moment: Just because a person looks like you, doesn’t necessarily mean you will vibe with them or that they will be able to assist your needs. A person of the same color or culture can have their own biases that can be harmful.  

It is strongly suggested that you engage in a consultation or talk to the therapist first prior to scheduling to see if the two of you make a good fit.  Most therapists provide a free consultation.  I strongly encourage you to consult first, it will help with you making a decision as to whom you would prefer to work with. 

If you know what you specifically need help with, I would suggest you look for a therapist that specializes in that area like for example trauma, social anxiety, postpartum depression, etc. If not, then that’s okay too.

You can find a black therapist using the following ways:

  1. Ask your physician or family doctor for referrals.

  2. Ask friends or family members for referrals.

  3. Google or web search black therapist in…., then enter your city and state.
