Professional Organizations
Building connections with organizations aligned with our work is crucial for LMFTs. Below are several organizations that hold significant value for me.
WPATH
Their professional, supporting, and student members engage in academic research to develop evidence-based medicine and strive to promote a high quality of care for transsexual, transgender, and gender-nonconforming individuals internationally.
SAIGE
Their mission is to advocate for the voice, equity, and inclusion of LGBTGEQIAP+ persons within the counseling profession to promote the professional development of counselors and related professionals to ensure that all LGBTGEQIAP+ individuals receive ethical, culturally inclusive, liberating services that attend to all aspects of their intersectional identities.
Advanced
Founded in 1979 at the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, Family Equality has spent more than 40 years ensuring that everyone has the freedom to find, form, and sustain their families by advancing equality for the LGBTQ+ community.
