Today, I’m talking about the Therapist Who Tarot deck, created by therapist and tarot teacher Dreya Blume, with watercolor imagery by art therapist Rebecca Bloom. This is a deck that lives right at the intersection of tarot, self-inquiry, and healing work, and it has a very specific role in my collection.

My Story with This Deck

I found this deck in a very on-brand way: at a Therapists Who Tarot retreat in spring 2024, led by Dreya and Rebecca. Each morning, we dove into how to ethically and thoughtfully bring tarot into therapy sessions—how to document it, talk about it with clients, and integrate it into our clinical work. In the afternoons, we shifted into art: cutting, gluing, painting, and making our own collage tarot cards while learning about the symbolism of the deck.

It was one of those rare experiences that felt both deeply professional and deeply witchy.

By the end of the retreat, I knew I wanted a tangible way to carry that learning and that community forward, so I bought the Therapist Who Tarot deck directly from them.

This is the deck I think of as “therapist brain meets tarot brain”—in the best possible way.

Style:

The Therapists Who Tarot Deck is warm, approachable, and deliberately reflective. It doesn’t try to be mystical or intimidating. It feels like a deck made for real people having real feelings—something you’d use in a session, a journal practice, or a quiet moment when you’re trying to understand yourself a little better.

Structure:

The deck follows the familiar Rider–Waite–Smith structure, but with a couple of intentional shifts. Pentacles become Spirals, a symbol rooted in nature and growth, and Pages are renamed Daughters, while Knights, Queens, and Kings stay the same.

There’s no traditional guidebook. But beginners can still use this deck as a gentle, introspective tool rather than relying on memorized meanings. Each card invites you to interpret it through three elements:

• the artwork

• the single keyword

• and the reflection questions printed on the back

Imagery:

Everything is painted in watercolor, giving the deck a soft, fluid quality. Figures are often implied rather than detailed—shapes, silhouettes, and gestures that feel human without being literal. The color palettes vary, and each suit has a distinct border color to anchor the imagery.

What I use it for:

I reach for the Therapist Tarot Deck when I want tarot to feel like a reflective conversation rather than a strict “prediction.” It’s especially supportive when I’m doing work that’s adjacent to therapy, journaling, or emotional processing.

What I don’t use it for:

There are a few instances where this deck isn’t my first choice:

• when someone is brand new to tarot and really wants clear, traditional meanings and reversals

• when we’re doing a big, structured spread that leans heavily on classical symbolism

• when a querent wants a very mystical, archetypal, or ritual-heavy feel

• when I need detailed upright/reversed interpretations directly from a guidebook

It’s not the deck I’d hand someone who says, “I want the cards to tell me exactly what to do.” It’s more for, “I want to better understand how I’m feeling and what I might need.”

💭 Today's Tarot Pull:

From Therapists Who Tarot Deck, I pulled the Four of Wands (Reversed).

In reverse, the heart of the Four of Wands asks us to consider where support, stability, and celebration live in our lives—and where we might be blocking ourselves from fully stepping into them.

Reflective prompts on this card:

• Is there a community I miss, or one I’m afraid to fully show up in?

• Who feels like “home” to me right now? How can I honor that?

• Is there a milestone, shift, or small victory I haven’t allowed myself to celebrate yet? Why?
