The members of NSGP are a diverse group of psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, physicians, nurses, counselors and students. Whatever your discipline, we encourage you to join us. Why join a group therapy organization? Group therapy is a powerful treatment modality. It is an effective stand alone treatment or can enhance other treatments. Experience as a group leader broadens your conceptualizations of cases and expands opportunities for interventions. NSGP memberships provides a professional home to experiment with new ideas and ways of being with and understanding our patients not only in group but also in individual therapy. Benefits of Membership A Professional Home May clinicians describe NSGP as their professional home. They experience meaningful professional, intellectual and social connection.
