Find a Therapist
On this page you will find a number of helpful resources to assist you in finding a therapist that can best meet your needs.
Online Therapist Directories
Psychology Today.
Psychology Today is a standard directory of psychotherapists that many members of the Ithaca therapy community utilize to advertise their practices, introduce themselves to the community, and also indicate their current availability. You can sort listings by the insurance accepted, fees, models of psychotherapy, and more.
I would recommend starting here first.
EMDRIA.
If you have found me and are interested specifically in a therapist who is trained or certified in EMDR therapy, EMDRIA has a wonderful therapist directory as well with similar features to Psychology Today.
Open Path Collective.
Open Path Psychotherapy Collective is a nonprofit nationwide network of mental health professionals dedicated to providing in-office and online mental health care—at a steeply reduced rate—to clients in need.
Therapy Den.
A mental health directory and resource made with love. Their mission is to make finding the right therapist or counselor as painless as possible.
Finding a BIPOC Therapist
Inclusive Therapists.
The mission of Inclusive Therapists is celebrating marginalized identities, abilities, and bodies. Inclusive Therapists offers a safer, simpler way to find a culturally responsive, LGBTQ+ affirming, social justice-oriented therapist. They center the needs of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and 2SLGBTQIA+ intersections (QTBIPOC). They amplify the voices and expressions of Neurodivergent and Disabled Communities of Color.
Inclusive Therapists is a mental health liberation movement creating change through decolonial education, collective care, and activism.is a standard directory of psychotherapists that many members of the Ithaca therapy community utilize to advertise their practices, introduce themselves to the community, and also indicate their current availability.

REBUILD.
Launched in January of 2022, REBUILD connects BIPOC formerly incarcerated individuals to therapists of color. Therapist connectors (including formerly incarcerated people and people who have lived experiences with mental health challenges) assist in matching formerly incarcerated and injustice-involved individuals with therapists of color. This assistance includes finding and vetting therapists, setting up appointments, facilitating the payment process, and paying for therapy for some.
REBUILD connects BIPOC formerly incarcerated individuals to therapists of color, in partnership with Darkness RISING Project, BEAM, Mariame Kaba and Depressed While Black, with the support of generous donors.
Finding a LGBTQIA+ Therapist
QuIPP
A group of mental health professionals who specialize in working with marginalized groups…especially the LGBTQIA+ community. Their therapists know the basics of what it means to be “other,” queer, kinky, poly, spiritual, religious & queer, and systemically-oppressed. So, you won’t have to waste time explaining why your pronouns must be respected, what a polycule is, or why you panic when you see police.
