President's Message

Innate Goodness

Jenni J.V. Wilson, LMFT, LA-CAMFT President 2021 & 2026

I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve started and restarted, stopped and deleted this President’s Message for a month. There’s so much to say and I don’t know how to say it all.

And since I’m being honest with you… I’m tired.

For nearly a decade, regulating my nervous system on a daily basis has become a higher and higher priority. This work. This world. This historical time as a whole has impacted me on a deep level - even after I’d already seen and survived some pretty heavy shit by an early age.

Until two years ago, I believed that the innate goodness of people would overcome. In fact, I think I believed it HAD overcome. I wanted to believe it had.

“It’s said that the biggest determinant of our lives is whether we see the world as welcoming or hostile. Each becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.” -Gloria Steinem

For a long time, I’ve held onto my deep belief that people are innately good. Some real Carl Rogers shit. And because I think people are innately good, I believe many cannot conceive of innate sociopathic destructive toxicity in others – especially our leaders. Perhaps they don’t perceive the toxicity as toxicity at all. Perhaps chaotic malignant pandemonium is normal to them, what they expect, and what they “know”.

I am a skeptic by nature. An observer and a reluctant empath. A target, a participant, and a bystander. By circumstance I am situated in the in-between: between the privileged and the disenfranchised, the marginalized and the establishment.

After 8 years of drowning myself in the pain of all of it, Paul Revere-ing daily like a mad proselytizing fanatic, I had to find a way to reduce my emotional investment in what was beyond my control. I knew I had to focus more on a local level. I knew I needed to stop mainlining 24/7 news coverage of the destruction of the world. I had been getting through my days mainly fueled by cortisol, justice-sensitivity, and a refusal to align with the abuser, all of which are still there, but on a more sustainable scale at the moment.

I know that one of the things I can do to help others is vote.

Vote.

Who gets elected impacts the work we do and the people we work with. So exercise your power at the ballot box. Let our leaders know we are invested.

One thing that seems to be coming up a lot in conversation and legislation, is the future of AI and how it is impacting the world at large. The Board of Directors recently approved Bob Roan’s proposal to form a yet-unnamed Special Interest Group (SIG) centered around AI in the therapeutic space: “helping therapists understand the different ways AI will present in their professional lives”. This SIG will bring a much-needed conversation and resources to the LA-CAMFT community. If you are interested in getting involved, email me at President@LACAMFT.org. Bob is looking for collaborators as well as participants who are interested in and enthusiastic about the subject.

The General Mentorship Program Committee is also looking for interested and enthusiastic collaborators, so if you have 5-10 hours a month and want to help make a BIG difference in the community, reach out to Keonna Robinson at TOCmentorshipProgram@lacamft.org or Randi Gottlieb at rgottliebmft@gmail.com for more information.

We’re almost done with the first year of the Financial Committee which meets every second Thursday of the month at 12noon via Zoom, and I hope the committee will grow. Some committee members may be stepping away next year, so it would be great to get some fresh eyes and ideas in the discussions. Together the members of the 2026 Fin Comm have learned a lot and I think we’ve come to enjoy everyone’s company, too. Maybe it’s just me. If you think you’d like to join these conversations, reach out to Di Wilson at CFO@lacamft.org.

Thank you everyone who came to my house on 9/26. I had a blast at the Self-Care Saturday Night Event thanks to the Presidential Team, Ruth Castro, and all the volunteers who helped it run so smoothly. And Lightfully and Clearview for sponsoring! We’ll probably do it again next year. The chapter will be starting a new Meet-Up Committee – maybe as a Special Interest Group? – and that’s where the planning will be for September 2027.

But the September event 2027 won’t be as important as the LA-CAMFT 50th Anniversary Event will be. If it happens. It won’t happen unless y’all want it to happen. The Board has PLENTY to do already. So, if you want to help chapter leaders plan something special for the community next year, reach out to Ruth Castro at LACAMFTvolunteers@gmail.com and tell her “hell yeah I want to help plan a big kick ass party!” And she’ll know what that means. Well, I will tell her what that means.

While we’re giving thanks this month, I want to encourage you to donate on the LA-CAMFT Donations page so the chapter can restart and expand the LA-CAMFT grant awards program for pre-licensed and newly licensed therapists: https://lacamft.org/donations.

That’s ANOTHER thing you could do if you have 5-10 hours a month to donate to the community… help the grant committee revise the grant application process and distribution structure. If you are interested in that, you can reach out to Tina Cacho Sakai at TOCgrants@lacamft.org

If you’re a member with questions for me or other LACAMFT leaders and Board Members, come to “Meet LA-CAMFT” via Zoom at 11am on 11/21. You can register here: https://lacamft.org/event-6804636.

Finally, I want to remind you to mark your calendars for the Annual LA-CAMFT Holiday Party at Clearview in Venice, Sunday 12/13. If you want to volunteer, again, reach out to Ruth Castro at LACAMFTVolunteers@gmail.com. **And if you’re newly licensed, be sure to let the Special Events team know when you register at: https://lacamft.org/event-6622541.**

Okay. So. As I gather my chosen family around me this Thanksgiving, I am giving thanks for all the lessons I have learned and all the new people I have met. I am grateful for all the support the board and the LA-CAMFT community have given me as I navigated some unexpectedly heart-breaking experiences this year. I am hoping by the time I am carving the tofurkey on the 26th, I will once again be confidently affirming my belief in the innate goodness of humans. Help me to do that.

Vote.

As the late great Gloria Steinem said, “we have to behave as if everything we do matters. Because it might.”

Paz y Amor,

Editor's Note

Making Room for One Another

Alexander Marshi, MA, AMFT, LA-CAMFT Voices Newsletter Editor

Welcome to the November edition of Voices. This month, I want to recognize the people who make a professional community feel like a place we can enter. A chapter has a name, a website, and a calendar. It also has people who answer a question, introduce someone standing alone, or remember to invite the associate who is still figuring out where they fit.

Those gestures rarely appear on a résumé. They are easy to overlook precisely because they make things easier for someone else. The meeting happens, the information arrives, and the new person has someone to talk to. Somewhere behind that ordinary experience, a colleague made time. I am grateful to the volunteers and members who keep making that time for LA-CAMFT, including the people whose names never appear at the top of an announcement.

November can bring invitations to reflect on gratitude, along with very different feelings about holidays, family, and belonging. There is room for those differences here. I would like our professional community to offer a welcome that does not depend on everyone having the same kind of month. A person can appreciate the people around them while carrying questions or disappointments that have no tidy seasonal resolution.

For me, gratitude becomes most interesting when it gets specific. Who answered the email? Who explained the process without making the question feel foolish? Who made space for a colleague with less experience or a different perspective? These are modest contributions, but recognizing them gives us a clearer picture of how a community actually works. It also gives the person doing the work a chance to hear that somebody noticed.

There are opportunities to put faces to that community in the weeks ahead. Members can meet chapter leaders at the online Meet LA-CAMFT gathering on November 21. The Annual Holiday Party follows on December 13 in Venice, welcoming members and non-members from our professional community. Details and registration: https://lacamft.org/event-6804636 and https://lacamft.org/event-6622541.

I would also like to make room for more of you in these pages. What question about the profession would you like to explore with colleagues? What has changed how you think about your work? Perhaps there is a person whose contribution deserves a Member Spotlight, or a professional experience you can discuss thoughtfully while protecting confidentiality.

If you have an idea for a future issue, I invite you to review our submission guidelines at https://lacamft.org/Newsletter-Committee and contact Newsletter@lacamft.org. An initial conversation can help clarify the direction before you develop a submission. You do not need an enormous conclusion to offer something worth reading. A specific question, honestly considered, can be a good beginning.

Thank you for reading, for contributing, and for helping someone else find a place in this community.

Guest Article

Therapy With Physicians: When Competence Is the Presenting Problem

Martha Fernandez, LCSW

The intake goes smoothly. Too smoothly. The new client is a hospitalist, or an anesthesiologist, or a surgeon with a full clinic and two kids. She arrives on time, summarizes her history in clinical shorthand, names her own symptoms with the right terms and asks what the evidence says about treatment. By the end of the hour you have a clear picture of everything except how she actually feels.

Physicians are often very good at being patients in the way they would want a patient to be. That competence is real, and it is also frequently the problem they have brought you.

They arrive late, and they arrive "fine"

Physicians report burnout at high rates and seek care at much lower ones. The AMA's Organizational Biopsy recorded that 43.2 percent of physicians reported at least one symptom of burnout during 2024, across nearly 18,000 responses. CEREVITY's paper43% of Physicians Report Burnout, Few Ask for Help traces that figure to its source and walks through what sits between a physician and a first appointment: licensing and credentialing questions, the colleague down the hall, and a schedule with no open hour.

By the time a physician reaches your office, the problem has usually been running for a long time. What you see in the first session is not the beginning of the strain. It is the version of it that has learned to function.

What competence hides

A few patterns are worth watching for in the first weeks:

• Diagnosis as distance. Clients who describe themselves in the third person, or in DSM language, may be standing outside their own experience. "Probably an adjustment disorder with anxious mood" is an assessment, not a feeling.
• Fast insight. Physicians often reach the interpretation before you do. Quick insight can be real, or it can be a way to close the topic before it gets uncomfortable.
• Performance in session. Some clients try to be the best patient you have ever had. Watch for apologizing for "wasting your time," or wanting homework to complete perfectly.
• Minimizing the body. Many physicians will describe sleep deprivation, skipped meals and chest tightness as ordinary features of the job.
• The colleague frame. A client may treat you as a consultant on their case rather than as their therapist, which keeps the relationship comfortable and keeps them safe from it.

None of these is resistance in the usual sense. They are the skills that got the client through training, used in the one room where they do not help.

How to slow the session down

Ask for the experience, not the assessment. "You told me what it is. What is it like?" often lands harder than any interpretation.

Name the competence gently. "You are very good at explaining this. I wonder what it would be like not to explain it." Many physicians have never been invited to stop performing.

Tolerate the silence. Physicians are trained to fill gaps quickly and efficiently. Leaving one open can be the most useful thing you do.

Go to the body. Ask what happens physically before a shift, after a death, or at 3 a.m. The body often tells the story the narrative leaves out.

Expect the test. Some physicians will check, directly or indirectly, whether you are clinically sharp enough to be worth their time. Meeting that test with steadiness rather than credentials tends to build the alliance.

Practical expectations of this population

Physicians and other high-functioning professionals bring practical concerns to the frame of treatment, and addressing them early keeps them in care.

Confidentiality, in detail. Expect specific questions about records, diagnoses and what could ever reach a licensing board or credentialing committee. Answer plainly, explain what goes into your record and why, and acknowledge the worry as reasonable rather than paranoid.

Scheduling. Early mornings, evenings and telehealth sessions from a parked car between shifts are common. Rigid scheduling is one of the fastest ways to lose these clients.

Cash pay. Some physicians prefer to pay privately so that no claim goes through an employer's health plan. Be clear about your fees and documentation from the start.

The referral network. Physicians may avoid clinicians who also see their colleagues. If you work within a hospital system, say so, and be ready to refer out if the overlap is too close.

The aim

The goal is not to strip away a client's competence. It is to make it optional for an hour a week. When a physician can sit in your office without managing the room, the work that brought them in finally has somewhere to happen.

Middle Eastern North African (MENA) Therapists Community Group

First Monday of Every Month

Next Meeting:
Monday, November 2, 2026
9:00am-10:00am

Online Via Zoom

The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

For more information, contact the facilitators at mena@lacamft.org.

Before They Call: What AI Assistants Read When Someone Asks for a Therapist

Charles Ivia

More people now ask a chatbot for help finding a therapist. We wanted to know what the assistant does next. Does it search the web? What does it read? Whose words does it repeat?

On September 29 and October 2, 2026, we asked ChatGPT, Gemini, and Meta AI six questions. Each question ran three times on each assistant, for 54 answers. Two questions asked for an anxiety therapist in one US city. Two described a problem: trouble sleeping from overthinking, and not knowing where to start. Two asked about a dietitian, as a comparison. We recorded every search each assistant ran, the pages its searches returned, and the people it named.

Here is what we found, and what it suggests for a therapist's directory profile and website.

How the question is asked decides whether anyone is named

When the question asked for a therapist, all 18 answers searched the web and named clinicians. When the person described a problem, or asked where to start, none of the 18 answers named a practice. The assistants offered general self-help, or pointed to a primary care doctor and the 988 Lifeline.

In this test, only questions that asked for a professional sent the assistants looking for practices.

Psychology Today appeared in every therapist recommendation

Psychology Today was among the sources for all 18 answers that recommended therapists, and it was named in the text of 17. Two assistants went further and repeated what listings said. Meta AI quoted listing descriptions in 4 of its 9 recommendation answers. ChatGPT wrote some version of "her profile says" in 4 of 9.

The opening lines of your directory profile may be the sentence an assistant repeats about you. Those lines are worth writing with care.

Assistants may check your website, too

ChatGPT went looking for practices' own websites. In 4 of its 6 therapist answers, it added "official" to a search, as in "Charlotte NC therapist anxiety official website." It cited a practice's own site in 3 of those 6 answers. Gemini searched for clinicians by name, and most of the people it searched for appeared in its answers.

When an assistant cross-checks your information, it helps if your directory listings and website say the same things.

The searches use the client's words

All 44 searches behind the therapist questions included the city, and 42 included "anxiety." More than a third added "best" or "top." The searches carried the words people used, and added little else.

The dietitian questions show how far a single phrase travels. One asked for someone who "works online." Of the 29 searches that followed, 27 used "online," "telehealth," or "virtual." If you see clients by telehealth, those are the words an assistant is likely to search for.

What to check this month

Each step below comes down to consistency and plain language.

• Read the first two sentences of your directory profile as a stranger would. Do they say who you help, what you help with, and where you work? If you offer telehealth, do they name the states where you are licensed?
• Say how you see clients, in the words clients use: in person, online, telehealth.
• State your fees, or which insurance you take, in the same terms everywhere.
• Make your website say the same things in the same words as your profile. Then let the website add what a profile cannot hold: how you work, and what a first session is like.
• Search your own name and practice name, as a referred client would, and read what comes up.

What we don't know

This was a small test: six questions, three runs each, on two days. The therapist questions named one city. We sent single questions, with no conversation history and no personal profile. The apps people use may answer differently, and the assistants change often. Nothing in this test guarantees that changing a profile or website will lead to a recommendation.

The test does show where the assistants looked and whose words they repeated, and a therapist can review both.

Charles Ivia is the founder and technical director of Credible by Design, a website and search studio for therapy and private healthcare practices. He studies how prospective clients find and check a practice before they reach out, from Google results and directory profiles to AI assistants. The full method and data from these tests are at crediblebydesign.com.

White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

Third Sunday of Every Month

Next Meeting:
Sunday, November 15, 2026
3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

Online Via Zoom

The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

How Do I Join? To join this group, please click here to complete our online submission form. Once submitted, a group facilitator will reach out to you for next steps.

LA-CAMFT’s Declaration
of Inclusion, Diversity, and Anti-Racism

Psychotherapy can be transformative in a democratic society, and can open intellectual inquiry that, at its best, influences and results in lasting positive change. In recognition of our shared humanity and concern for our community and world, LA-CAMFT loudly and overtly disavows all racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, classism, ableism, ageism, and hate speech or actions that attempt to silence, threaten, and degrade others. We in LA-CAMFT leadership hereby affirm our solidarity with those individuals and groups most at risk and further declare that embracing diversity and fostering inclusivity are central to the mission of our organization.

As mental health professionals, we value critical reasoning, evidence-based arguments, self-reflection, and the imagination. We hope to inspire empathy, advocate for social and environmental justice, and provide an ethical framework for our clients, our community, and ourselves.

We in LA-CAMFT leadership are committed to:

(1) the recognition, respect, and affirmation of differences among peoples

(2) challenging oppression and structural and procedural inequities that exist in society, generally, and in local therapeutic, agency, and academic settings

(3) offering diverse programming content and presenters throughout our networking event calendar, as well as in our workshops, trainings, and special events

While we traverse the turbulent seas of the important and necessary changes taking place in our country, in order to form a “more perfect union.” we wish to convey our belief that within our community exists an immense capacity for hope. We believe in and have seen how psychotherapy, therapeutic relationships, and mental health professions can be agents of positive change, without ignoring or denying that the practice and business of psychiatry, psychology, and psychotherapy have historically been the cause of great harm, trauma, and emotional toll, particularly for people of color and other marginalized groups. We are committed to doing our part to help remedy that which we have the position, privilege, and/or resources to do so.

At LA-CAMFT events, all members are welcome regardless of race/ethnicity, gender identities, gender expressions, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, disabilities, religion, regional background, Veteran status, citizenship, status, nationality and other diverse identities that we each bring to our professions. We expect that leadership and members will promote an atmosphere of respect for all members of our community.

In a diverse community, the goal of inclusiveness encourages and appreciates expressions of different ideas, opinions, and beliefs, so that potentially divisive conversations and interactions become opportunities for intellectual and personal growth. LA-CAMFT leadership wants to embrace this opportunity to create and maintain inclusive and safe spaces for all of our members, free of bias, discrimination, and harassment, where people will be treated with respect and dignity and where all individuals are provided equitable opportunity to participate, contribute, and succeed.

We value your voice in this process. If you feel that our leadership or programming falls short of this commitment, we encourage you to get involved, and to begin a dialogue with those in leadership. It is undeniable that the success of LA-CAMFT relies on the participation, support, and understanding of all its members.

Wishing good health to you and yours, may you find yourself centered in feelings of abundance, safety, belonging, and peace.

Standing together,
The LA-CAMFT Board of Directors and Diversity Committee
