LGBT Therapists members Weston Edwards and Nicky Simon of Pride Institute are coordinating a conference in Chicago ~ When Sex Harms: Identifying and Treating Maladaptive Sexual Behavior in LGBTQ Clients, with the possibility of a similar one here in Minnesota sometime this fall. Presented by Weston & Dr. Kevin Osten, Psy D, Adler School. Member question: How do I change what's visible in my directory listing?
That's a great and important question. Did you know that you can manage how much of your listing is visible to the general public, to members only, or just to the website's administrators? The new instructions page on our website outlines the easy steps. As always, contact us anytime you have questions about your membership and managing your LGBT Therapists member profile.
