A new kind of directory—for a new kind of care.
The Practitioner Directory
We're building something different.
The Practitioner Directory is a project born from a simple but powerful truth: healing happens in relationship—with people who see us, hear us, and truly understand.
Right now, too many people seeking mental health or substance use support find themselves lost in a system that prioritizes credentials over compassion, speed over depth, and band-aids over true connection.
We’re here to change that.
The Practitioner Directory is an evolving space where people can find trauma-informed, culturally responsive, heart-led practitioners who value human connection just as much as clinical expertise.
Why This Matters
So many individuals—especially those from historically marginalized communities—struggle to find providers who reflect their lived experience or honor their healing journey with care and nuance.
We believe that who you work with matters.
And we believe in building a community where practitioners are vetted not just by degrees, but by values.
Join A New Era of Healthcare
We’re in the beginning stages—and we need you.
The Practitioner Directory is still in its infancy. We’re laying the foundation carefully and intentionally, and we know it will only thrive if it’s filled with the right people: practitioners who lead with empathy, cultural humility, and a commitment to do-no-harm healing. If this resonates with your approach, we would love for you to be part of this growing movement.
First Step: Join the Facebook Group
Before joining the directory itself, we’re inviting practitioners into a private Facebook group where we can begin to connect, co-create, and make sure this space is aligned with our shared vision.
It’s a chance to:
✔️ Learn more about the mission
✔️ Share your thoughts and feedback
✔️ Get early access to the directory application
✔️ Build community with like-minded peers
The directory will feature:
Profiles of vetted, heart-centered practitioners
Filter options based on lived experience, identity, modalities, and availability
Connection to resources, referrals, and future community events
Opportunities to collaborate on panels, blogs, and outreach
This is more than a list. 100% of profits from The Practitioner Directory will directly support Phoenix Group Foundation & our initiatives to support young adults with mental health and substance use disorders.
It’s a movement.
