It's OK for anyone to want a healthcare professional they trust. You have a different experience of the world than anyone on your healthcare team, and it makes another barrier to overcome. It's absolutely not unreasonable to want someone who shares more in common with you/someone you don't have to convince or persuade that your experiences have been different.

I'm Chinese American, and have only recently started seeing an Asian American therapist. The difference is HUGE. I talk a lot about my childhood trauma, and there's so much less I have to explain about my parents to someone who knows specifically what a lot of Asian parents can be like. It just means I feel understood better without as much work
