The Deaf Community in California
With two state Deaf schools — the California School for the Deaf in Fremont and in Riverside — plus vibrant Deaf communities in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, San Diego, and Sacramento, California's Deaf world is rich and diverse. It includes DeafBlind, Deaf+, Latinx Deaf, and many other intersecting identities. Our therapists honor all of them.
How Online ASL Therapy Works
Therapy with us happens over secure, HIPAA-compliant video, so your sessions fit your life — from home, during a lunch break, wherever you have privacy and internet. After you contact us, we match you with a California-licensed therapist based on what you're working through and who you'll feel comfortable with.
Insurance & Costs
Coverage shouldn't be a mystery. We work with most major commercial plans and Medicare, and offer single-case agreements (SCAs) when we're not already paneled with your plan. Our team confirms your benefits before your first appointment and explains everything plainly.
Why Deaf Clients in California Choose My Deaf Therapy
Our promise to California clients is simple: your therapist is licensed in your state (verify it yourself — we welcome that), fluent in ASL, and backed by the largest Deaf therapy team in the country. That size means choice: different specialties, backgrounds, and personalities, so you find someone who truly fits.
