Professional Development Event: Advocacy and Awareness: Contributing to the Growth of the Profession
The Marriage and Family Therapy license is still nascent in New York State. Representing marriage and family therapy as a mental health profession to the public and before governmental bodies, our advocates have worked strategically to include MFTs with other Mental Health Professionals. With your yearly dues to AAMFT, we have been able to achieve important steps on our journey to equality in the Albany legislature, but there is still work to be done. Join us for a Q+A with your lobbyist, Denise Murphy McGraw to explore where we have come from and how you can be a part of important next steps.
This Professional Development presentation is a non-CEC event but is part of the New York Marriage and Family Therapists’ commitment to advancing the profession of Marriage and Family Therapists by providing career growth education and opportunities. These events are FREE for active members as part of your dues to the organization—you do not need to be licensed NY State MFT to be a part of NYMFTN! Find out more at

Authentic Success: Growing Your Impact by Growing Your Business
One of the challenging aspects of running any business is adding new clients. Sales and marketing skills are challenging and uncomfortable to master. In addition, many of the marketing techniques available are designed to GET people to buy. Which doesn’t feel good and is rarely effective.
The Authentic Demand Generation™ system throws away the uncomfortable, and in many cases inauthentic, marketing techniques and replaces them with a simple, effective, and authentic way to grow your client base.
Designed with a decade of research in growing purposeful businesses, Terri Maxwell created this methodology to ensure growing a conscious business is authentic, genuine, and fun.
Money Talks: Financial Health and Mental Wellness
As systemic thinkers, we understand that our clients’ dynamic lives extend far outside the therapy space. While we cannot be expected to be experts on every topic, in our capitalist society: Money Talks. Are we as therapists comfortable facilitating discussion on such a complex subject? With the pandemic continuing to exacerbate not only the mental health but financial stress of our clients, the divide between the have and have-nots grows wider each day. Just as with any presenting problem, a family of origin’s cultural, ethnic, and class creates pressures for individuals, couples, and families, but the transference and countertransference between therapist and client(s) often get overlooked. Join us for a day-long symposium with financial planners, coaches, and mediators to dive deeper into this hot-button topic. Beginning with keynote speaker and author of “Fragile Power,” Dr. Paul Hokemeyer, presenters will speak on a variety of subjects from compulsive shopping to financial couples coaching. Enhance your financial and cultural sensitivity as we explore the intersection of financial health and mental wellness.
Participants will have the ability to register for half-day or full-day conferences. This event is FREE for those with an active New York Marriage and Family Therapy (NYMFTN) membership. Consider joining NYMFTN, even if you are not licensed in this state—it’s cheaper than the cost of registration and provides you access to even more dynamic speakers and programming.
