Welcome to the website of the East Bay Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.

This website is ...

... for the General Public

We are a professsional organization of psychotherapists who are relationship specialists. We help individuals, couples, and families -- of all types, backgrounds, and sexual orientations -- to work through difficulties and enhance their well-being.

People often find therapy helpful at life's milestones, such as courtship, commitment, child-rearing (birth/adoption, discipline, communicaton, empty nest or never empty nest), separation/divorce, and aging. Other common relationship issues include money, sexuality, power dynamics, depression, anxiety, abuse, self-esteem, loss and grieving.

We are dedicated to supporting one another's professional lives through opportunities for continuing education, networking, consultation, social connection, increasing public awareness of who we are and what we offer, and participating in legislative efforts to advance our profession.

CEU Speakers Wanted!!

It's that time again, where the CEU committee is looking to plan next year schedule of events. The CEU committee is interested in finding speakers (non-stipend) for our nine monthly 2-hour presentations (including half an hour of networking). To satisfy BBS requirements, speakers must be considered "expert." The definition can be supplied later, but generally means a minimum of two years of study and practice in that particular area of focus. The presentations are alternating Saturday at 9:30 in Berkeley and Saturday at 9:30 in Orinda.

We ask that interested parties send two paragraphs: 1. Description of topic and learning objectives, and 2. background qualifications as an expert in this area of focus.

These "first draft" paragraphs will later serve as the basis for EB CAMFT newsletter and e-tree announcements.

If interested in presenting to the EB-CAMFT community please contact: Nadesdye Valdes at nadesdyevc@yahoo.com The CEU committee will review the submissions and make selections, primarily based of prior requests from the EB CAMFT community.
