Intersectional Job directory
-
“This therapist directory is for Asian mental health providers currently licensed in the US or Canada. We understand ‘Asian’ as a pan-ethnic identity that refers to individuals who identify as Asian and includes people with ancestry from Asia, including East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia (sometimes described as the “Middle East”). We acknowledge that Pacific Islanders and Native Hawaiians have historically been grouped along with Asians in the US, some of whom also identify as Asian. We also recognize those in our broader community who support us and who may need support as well. If you do not identify with any of these groups, please consider that this may not be the directory for you.
The information gathered here helps us build a resource for potential clients who might be seeking mental health providers in their area. If your application is accepted, you will be notified of further steps within 6-8 weeks at the email provided. Please be patient as we are always learning more about how this project can evolve and better fit the needs of providers and clients alike.
Approval of this application also serves as approval to be a Therapy Fund provider. Learn more about AMHC's Lotus Therapy Fund here.”

“Free therapy to support your path to healing.
There are many paths to healing, and often therapy is an important step on the journey. But cost, navigating insurance, and managing billing can all be barriers to getting the mental health care we need and deserve.
That’s why several times a year, we open the application for the Lotus Therapy Fund (LTF). Our goal is to remove barriers for Asian adults in need of individual therapy.
For those accepted, we offer 8 free sessions of virtual or in-person therapy over 3 months.
You’re able to choose one of the approved therapists from our directory who’s licensed in your state. Once you find a therapist who’s a good fit, we manage payment directly so you don’t have to. “
