President’s Welcome

Dear Visitors,

I want to welcome you AAP, a multidisciplinary group of psychotherapists who are dedicated to personal growth, life-long training, and collegial connectivity. We strive to be inclusive of professionals from different cultures, identities, and backgrounds, and we are doing everything in our power to be a diverse community.

Each year, AAP hosts two national conferences, as well as ongoing peer groups and regional gatherings. Our Fall Institute and Conference is open to all therapists, including non-member professionals who are awarded need-blind scholarships. I encourage you to consider attending all or part of our I&C to meet us and partake of process-oriented workshops, community meetings, and presentations of cutting-edge issues affecting our field.

In our annual Summer Workshop, AAP community members come together for five days to work with each other in small and large groups.We aim to learn from each other different ways of working and to reenergize ourselves for the challenging work of psychotherapy.

Lyn Sommer, PhD
President, 2022-2024
