You are human, which means you are complicated, full of contradictions, and probably carrying more than you let on. Maybe you feel stuck, in your thoughts, your relationships, your career, or just life in general. You might be a young adult navigating independence, a university student drowning in expectations, or a professional battling self-doubt and burnout. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, relationships feel more confusing than they should, or you're just exhausted by the weight of figuring everything out on your own. You don’t have to navigate this alone, let’s talk.

Currently accepting new clients for youth and adults. Do you struggle with feeling meh? Not feeling true joy and feeling like life is passing by while you are simply getting through it? Maybe you are functioning on the outside, going to work or school, keeping up with responsibilities, showing up for others, but internally something feels off. This can show up as anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or a loss of sense of self that affects your ability to feel present and connected. Do you feel overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time? You are holding onto hope that this feeling will pass, but you are not sure how to.

FAQ - About Multiracial Counselling
Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.

How can a mixed race therapist support couples counselling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
