If your practice is committed to LGBTQ+ affirming care, the directories where you list matter as much as how you list. A checkbox on a mainstream platform signals something. A presence on platforms built by and for queer and trans communities signals something more. As a queer owned and operated company, we understand what that signal means, and why it matters.
The resources below were built by queer clinicians, trans activists, and healers of color specifically to surface providers who have been vetted by community, not just self-identified on a form. For practices doing this work with intention, these are the platforms where that intention is recognized.
First-line community directories
A social justice and liberation-oriented directory, community, and resource hub. Built specifically to center Black, Brown, Indigenous, and People of Color across the full 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, Inclusive Therapists is as much a movement as it is a listing. What sets it apart: the organization produces decolonial education, supports collective care practices, and provides crisis resources tailored to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. For clinicians doing this work with intention, it’s a community to belong to alongside a directory to be listed in.
Created in partnership between the Tegan and Sara Foundation and GLMA (Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality), this is one of the most comprehensive and widely trusted LGBTQ+ provider directories available, and it’s free. Providers actively affirm their commitment across specific dimensions of equitable care, and profiles include detailed identity-specific experience across the full LGBTQ+ spectrum. It covers not just mental health providers but primary care, specialists, and other healthcare roles, making it a go-to for clients who want their entire care team aligned.
An international healthcare directory built around a simple premise: every LGBTQ+ person deserves a provider they can be fully open with. Backed by OutCare Health, providers listed here have affirmed their commitment to inclusive care across a detailed standard, not just a self-reported checkbox. Searchable by specialty, location, and service type, with verified mental health providers and client feedback mechanisms that maintain quality over time. Global reach with meaningful local depth.
Mainstream directories with genuine LGBTQ+ reach
5. TherapyDen
Designed from the start to serve clients who feel unseen on larger platforms. TherapyDen offers robust filtering for trans issues, gender identity, non-binary identities, queer relationships, and kink/poly-affirming care–and because the platform attracts therapists who are intentionally inclusive, the quality of affirming listings runs consistently higher than on platforms where it’s simply a field in a form.
Its scale is impossible to ignore. Psychology Today has a dedicated LGBTQ+ search pathway with multiple identity-specific filters, and it dominates Google rankings for therapy-related terms. Many genuinely affirming practitioners maintain strong profiles here, and for clients who begin their search on Google, it’s often where the journey starts.
7. Zencare
Zencare explicitly centers finding a therapist who honors identity and lived experience, with LGBTQ+ affirming care as a primary search category. The video introduction feature is especially valuable here: for queer and trans clients evaluating a therapist’s values and energy before scheduling, a 60-second clip changes everything.
A specialized referral directory for LGBTQ+ affirming psychiatrists. For clients who need medication management alongside therapy–or who want a psychiatric evaluation from someone with genuine identity competency–the AGLP directory is a targeted resource most people never discover. For practices managing complex client presentations, it’s a valuable referral partner.
A professional organization for healthcare providers committed to LGBTQ+ health equity. GLMA publishes clinical guidelines, co-sponsors the LGBTQ+ Healthcare Directory, and maintains its own member network. Membership signals a level of commitment that goes beyond a directory listing, for clients evaluating credentials, and for practitioners building a peer community.
10. Trans Lifeline
Not a therapy directory, and worth knowing anyway. Run by trans people for trans people, Trans Lifeline provides peer support via phone and maintains a regularly updated resource library. It’s a legitimate community institution, and it regularly surfaces and recommends affirming providers. Being known in this community matters.
Primarily crisis-focused for LGBTQ+ youth, The Trevor Project also maintains a searchable resource database (therapists, support groups, community organizations) that’s actively maintained and widely trusted. For practices working with adolescents and young adults, a presence in this ecosystem is meaningful.
