Look for licensed mental health professionals in California who specifically mention expertise or experience in working with black couples or relationships. This may be mentioned on their websites, professional directories, or online profiles.
Look for therapists who demonstrate cultural competency and an understanding of the unique experiences and challenges faced by black couples. They should be sensitive to issues such as systemic racism, cultural identity, and discrimination, and be able to provide culturally responsive therapy.
Ensure that the therapist you consider is properly licensed to practice in California and has the appropriate credentials and qualifications. You can verify their licensure status through the California Board of Behavioral Sciences or relevant professional associations.
