Section 02Find a clinician
Trauma-trained therapists.
UCO does not refer to specific clinicians by name from this page. That's a relationship between you and the person you choose to see. Instead, here are directories that filter by trauma training, sliding-scale fees, and insurance.
Sliding scale

Therapists who agree to see sliding-scale clients between $40 and $80 per session. Helpful when insurance is the barrier.

Inclusive Therapists
Directory centered on therapists who specialize in identity-aware care: LGBTQ+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, religious-trauma-aware.
inclusivetherapists.com ↗Section 03Self-paced + safety planning
