Atlanta
Psychotherapy Guild
The
Atlanta
Psychotherapy Guild is a group of licensed psychotherapists of many
disciplines who have joined together to offer high quality therapy to
the public as well as to provide a collegial and life enhancing venue
for professional wellbeing. Currently our members include nurses,
social workers, pastoral counselors, marriage and family counselors,
psychologists, and psychiatrists. The Guild was founded in 1995.
The Guild has a web site
which presents information about members' practices to
potential clients. Each therapist's web page features a
philosophical statement, picture, credentials, experience, areas of
specialization, and location of practice. We believe this
information is helpful to potential clients in choosing a therapist,
and
is a useful marketing and advertising tool for Guild members.
In addition, the Guild has monthly lunches,
quarterly
salons, and annual
events which allow members to network, get support, learn, and
enjoy being with like minded friends who understand and share the
vicissitudes of being a therapist.
Because we are a relatively small group and because we are local, we
have the advantage of seeing each other quite frequently and getting to
know each other well. We know to whom we are referring and can
feel confident about those referrals. It is a place where
new
therapists in the area can connect with colleagues and begin
networking. The Guild can respond to the needs of members whether
for a salon topic, a change in the web site, to help promote a group
or a workshop a therapist may be offering, or to disseminate
information to colleagues about practice interests.
The membership fee for the Guild is $90.00 a year. We are able to
keep the fee low because we are a volunteer organization, with a
volunteer board, and members pitch in for events. The low cost
makes the Guild affordable for new and seasoned therapists and makes it
possible to easily discover the benefits of membership.
