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.
LAGPA is supportive of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Psychotherapists Association of
the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.
