About Us
The Lesbian and Gay Psychotherapy Association of Southern California (LAGPA) was established in 1992 as an organization of mental health professionals interested in gay and lesbian clients.

LAGPA members are actively involved in expanding the role of psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and marriage, family, and child counselors who serve the greater gay community of Southern California. 

While LAGPA is oriented toward mental health professionals, individuals desiring to join LAGPA are not required to be licensed.

LAGPA's purpose is to facilitate social and professional networking for mental health professionals in the greater Los Angeles area. LAGPA seeks to join such individuals together for academic and social events, to develop educational community outreach activities, to foster and promote a positive gay & lesbian identity, and to serve as role models for all members of the gay, lesbian & bisexual community.

Members of LAGPA are committed to the process of developing the finest psychological skills for working with clients confronted with the complexity of personal issues related to being homosexual in a homophobic world.

Conference Countdown

16th Annual LGBT Psychotherapy Conference
Sunday, October 17, 2010

Great news!!! We are proud to announce that our annual psychotherapy conference will be co-hosted by Antioch University Los Angeles (AULA) on October 17, 2010. We are getting a much earlier start on the event hoping to have all the details worked out months in advanced. We are simplifying the workshop submission process. Below is a link to the downloadable application form. We are asking that you submit a short "concept" application to help us create an exciting program. Once these are reviewed and accepted, then presenters will be asked to complete the longer APA certified application. We are asking for your concept applications immediately; but then you will have months to complete the full application. So put on your thinking caps and submit a "concept" for workshop.
