Find a Therapist
Below is a database of therapists who have experience working with medical trauma.
Each therapist will have their own style and modalities.
It's important to find someone you feel comfortable working with, and who uses a therapy style that works best for you!
Most therapists will provide an initial consultation so that you can ask questions and get a feel for their style and personality. While not every therapist on this list will be a good fit for you, we hope it will ultimately help you find the support you deserve!

The providers in this database have chosen to be included in this directory based on their desire to work with survivors of medical trauma. Healthcare Revolution Collective does not specifically endorse any provider, but collects information to help survivors find avenues of potential support. If you are a licensed mental health professional who would like to be included in this database, contact Healthcare Revolution Collective at: healthcarerevolutionnow@gmail.com
