COLLEAGUES 

 As you read through my website, you can see that although I work with adults of all ages, I specialize in the field of geropsychology. It is an exciting time for those of us in this rapidly-growing area. With official recognition by the American Psychological Association (APA) Council in August 2010, experts in the field are developing more training, research and clinical opportunities, as well as increasing collaboration with other healthcare providers working older adults. 

If you are interested in becoming a geropsychologist, I recommend that you go to www.gerocentral.org  to learn more about the field.  It has links to APA's Divisions 12-II, the Society of Clinical Geropsychology, Division 20 and other groups.  There are also geropsychology groups within the California Psychological Association and the Los Angeles County Psychological Association (and perhaps your state and local psychological associations).  If you plan to work in long term care, I highly recommend the organization Psychologist in Long Term Care (www.pltcweb.org).  

In adition to my CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM, I provide consultation to colleagues regarding various aspects of geropsychology.  Please CONTACT me if you are interested in arranging individual or small group consultation in topics of your interest related to the field.
