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. More >>

SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES

Approximately 100 professionals attended our conference. What better way to reach this targeted audience than to sponsor or advertise? Attached are the appropriate forms. We can still accommodate booths. Please see the attached Sponsorship Form.

We want to thank our co-sponsor Phillips Graduate Institute. It would be impossible to put on the Conference without their help.
