In an age where we can swipe for pretty much anything, finding a therapist shouldn't be that hard, right?
But when you come from a traditionally muted or marginalized community, our journey can be even more stigmatized, making it more challenging to start.
We're unmuting conversations about mental health care making it easier for you to connect to the right therapist.

What is a Muted Community?
Muted communities are ones which, often culturally or economically, have been kept silent in mental health conversations.
These groups, unsurprisingly, are also at the highest risk for marginalization and systemic oppression in many other areas.
We believe everyone deserves quality mental health services, and we focus strongly on matching seekers in the following communities:
-
AAPI
-
BIPOC
-
Latino/Latina/Latine
-
First and Second Generation Immigrants
-
Other POC
-
LGBTQ+
-
Alternative family structures/Polyamory
-
Chronic Illness
-
Disability
-
Housing Insecure
-
Low-Income
For more information on mental healthcare for these communities, see our Resources page or join Peers Unmuted, peer support groups for muted communities
