How many counseling or therapy centers in the U.S. have been in business for 20 years, specialize in working with Deaf people and are staffed FULLY by licensed Deaf therapists?
One. You are looking at us! Deaf Counseling Center offers national Deaf therapy services. We have been providing both in-office and teletherapy counseling services since 2001.
Out of roughly 1,000 Deaf people polled, 85% prefer a Deaf counselor or therapist over a hearing counselor or therapist.
Deaf people overwhelmingly prefer to work with a Deaf counselor. The McCullough and Duchesneau (2014) finding is similar to that of the Steinberg, A.G., Sullivan, V.J., & Loew, R.C. (1998) study, which found that out of 54 Deaf participants, 72% preferred a Deaf counselor and 15% preferred a hearing counselor.
