Just for Members

NEW We are pleased to announce the creation of a publicly accessible expanded private practice listing on our website for members only. Beginning in the late Fall of 2008, this additional website feature will allow our colleagues and the general public to access in-depth information about each of our private practice listings, facilitating referrals and enabling potential clients to learn more about our experience, philosophies, and backgrounds.

Each person that joins this enhanced listing will have a separate page on our website, accessed through the membership roster or our website search engine, listing all pertinent information about our practices. Your enhanced listing will provide colleagues and consumers with the data most commonly sought when making referrals or seeking practitioners.

This powerful marketing tool gives you the same advantage offered by competing therapy search websites, but at a considerable savings, as we have also worked to keep costs down for this enhanced service. The annual fee, $50.00 per calendar year, will cover both set up costs and annual maintenance. Sign up today for your enhanced membership listing.

For Students and New Professionals

We welcome and provide services and special events for students and new professionals, such as free mentorship groups. For those still in school, find out more about our MSW Students program. New graduates are welcome to learn about our New Professionals program.
