Professional Family
My involvement with the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA) began in the 1990’s when I experienced the intelligent conversations, excellent research and training offerings at the annual conferences.
I was amazed by the level of commitment AGPA offered to members and the consequent relationships that developed. Over the years, I created a warm and enduring professional home here. I have been nurtured by countless colleagues and have offered training and mentoring in return.
