Deaf therapists, not interpreters
Every clinician here is Deaf and signs fluently in ASL. You talk to your therapist directly — nothing is filtered, softened, or lost in translation.
Est. 2001 · Our story
Deaf-led, from the very start.
The Deaf Counseling Center was founded on a simple truth: Deaf people deserve therapy in their own language, with someone who truly understands their world — not through an interpreter, and not adapted as an afterthought.
2001Established — the first telehealth counseling for the Deaf community
25 yrsServing the Deaf community nationwide

10+Deaf therapists, all fluent in ASL
Why it matters
Direct communication changes therapy. When nothing is lost in translation, trust builds faster and the work goes deeper — and healing follows. That's the difference a Deaf-led practice makes, and it's the reason we do this work.
We were the first to bring telehealth counseling to the Deaf community, back in 2001. Two decades on, that same belief still guides everything: therapy should meet Deaf people where they are, in the language they think and feel in.
What makes us different
Shared lived experience
Our therapists know Deaf identity, culture, and community from the inside. That shared understanding lets trust build faster and the work go deeper.
