Find an Inclusive Provider in our Diversity Directory: LGBTQ Doctor Search

Diversity Builder was founded in 2003 with the mission of building a directory of inclusive businesses for members of diverse groups seeking services, particularly inclusive access to healthcare. It was important to the Diversity Builder founders to help ensure patients had access to non-discriminatory healthcare providers regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, culture or other parts of one’s identity.

The diversity directory was the first of its kind to list providers in every state in the nation, rather than just the large metropolitan cities. It was not easy creating this directory. It was truly a labor of love from the entire project team. Finding dentists willing to serve all patients was particularly difficult. The team experience many phone hang ups and personal threats.

Referrals to Inclusive Healthcare Providers

During the project and following the directory completion, Diversity Builder’s leadership team realized that visitors seeking services would often require a personal referral to a doctor dentist or therapist in their area. The LGBTQI community was one diverse group being rejected for care regularly. We recognized that patients in remote areas or having specific needs may not find a provider on our director or the GLMA’s and possibly not receive the care they need. This was simply unacceptable to us.

Find LGBTQI Welcoming Doctors

Regular doctor exams are sometimes skipped due to apprehension regarding the patient’s comfort level with the physician. The Diversity Builder team has provided referrals to  healthcare or other providers upon request since 2004. Our team is willing to make those calls to identify LGBTQI-inclusive providers as a way to give back to the community.

Diversity Builder will perform a specialized search, free of charge, for an inclusive doctor, dentist, or business nationwide.  Just fill out our contact form.

smiling bias black shirt
Long Business Description

Massage therapists and other healthcare workers are encouraged and sometimes required to participate in Implicit Bias training.

Which states require implicit bias training for health care workers?

As of 2025 the following states have passed legislation requiring bias training:

California, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan, and Washington D.C.

Why is the government requiring health care providers to receive training on bias?

It all relates to the quality of care. If providers are able to address and reduce their biases at work, patient care will improve.

More states have laws they are considering making this a requirement for all health care works, from physicians and nurses, to massage therapists, home healthcare and more. When healthcare providers are more self-aware of the biases they bring when meeting or interacting with clients or patients, they can employ effective strategies to change.

Implicit Bias Training

Diversity among massage therapists and other similar practitioners has lagged behind other providers. For example, massage therapists are predominantly white (over 72%) when it comes to race and identify as women gender (over 82%) according to the US Census data.  Chiropractors, who may provide massage, are also predominantly white, with a majority being men (in gender). Home health aides who may perform massage are much more diverse with over 50% identifying as Latino, Black, or Brown. Industries such as massage, architecture, and even petroleum have not reached the diversity of the communities they serve. Practices that support equitable solutions are ideal.

Key Areas Lacking in Representation in Massage

  • Age
  • LGBTQIA+
  • Gender including Non-Binary and Transgender
  • Disability
  • Race
  • Ethnicity
  • Gender Expression
  • Nationality
  • Weight
  • Religion

So how do we attract more diverse candidates with regard to differences in race, ethnicity, and gender?

Enhancing Diverse Representation in Massage

The first step in enhancing equity and DEI in massage is to expand opportunities, access, and resources. Some initiatives underway are providing school vocational and guidance counseling to Black and Hispanic students to ensure they know this is an opportunity. Additionally, opportunities are presented at the college level, particularly as HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). This can be in the form of posters and informational brochures and other printed collateral as well as websites and digital media.

Customers who Receive Massages

According to data from the latest Census, more and more white customers and patients are seeking massage, as opposed to Black, Brown, or Hispanic patients. This disparity likely relates to having knowledge of the benefits of massage and access to care as well as financial considerations. It may also relate to the current state of the massage therapists available with their identities being primarily white. It is a two-fold situation; patients often like to work with therapists who are similar in identity to them. If those therapists are not diverse, it can create a situation in which some patients do not feel comfortable booking appointments.

Benefits of Corporate Chair and Full Massages

There are a number of benefits to massage for people of all identities, many of which relate to health. This is why it is important for therapists to utilize inclusive practices and address bias.

Massage Benefits

  • Reduces Repetitive Stress Injuries
  • Improved Overall Health
  • Lowers Employee Absenteeism
  • Increases Performance and Productivity
  • Improves Problem-Solving and Creativity
  • Positive Work Environment
    • Raises Engagement
    • Reduced Back and Neck Pain
    • Reduced Migraine Headaches
  • Immediate Results: Relaxed Muscles
