Pros and cons
Pros
- Directory filters for race or ethnicity (including Black or African American), gender, language, specialty, and appointment type.
- Many listed providers completed HUED's accredited courses on cultural competence, anti-racism, and unconscious bias.
- Covers many specialties, from mental health and psychology to family medicine and nephrology.
- Listings show whether a provider sees patients in person, virtually, or both, and in which states.
Cons
- It is a directory, not a care service: you contact the provider yourself, and prices and insurance depend on that provider.
- The directory has no insurance filter, so check coverage with each provider.
- The directory lists providers of every race, so use the race filter if you want a Black clinician.
- HUED's main business is training healthcare organizations; the directory is one part of it.
Pricing and coverage
- Pricing
- The directory is free to search. Visit costs are set by each provider.
- Insurance
- No commercial insurance
- Notes
- HUED doesn't bill insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid, because it doesn't provide care. Whether your plan covers a visit depends on the provider you choose, so ask them.
What HUED is
HUED calls itself "a digital health equity company creating equitable and inclusive healthcare experiences for Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities." Most of its work trains healthcare professionals, through accredited continuing-education courses on cultural competence, anti-racism, and unconscious bias.
It also runs a free online directory. HUED says the directory "connects you with many healthcare professionals who have completed our courses."
Finding a Black clinician on HUED
Search the directory by city, then filter by race or ethnicity. "Black or African American" is one of the options, alongside specialty, gender, language, and appointment type. The directory lists providers of every race, so the filter is what narrows it to Black clinicians.
Each listing shows the provider's specialty and whether they see patients in person, virtually, or both. HUED doesn't provide the care itself: you contact the provider, and cost and insurance depend on their practice.
How it compares
BetterHelp's sign-up questionnaire has a "Black therapist" box you can check, but that is a request, and BetterHelp matches you to an available therapist. HUED lets you pick a provider yourself. See our BetterHelp review.
For therapy, also search our directory of Black therapists, where every listing rests on the clinician's own word that they are Black.
Our methodology
We read HUED's homepage, about page and directory on September 28, 2026, and every fact here comes from them. We did not book an appointment. The rating is our editorial judgment of those published facts.
