Yes, we have mental health professional members who speak each of the above languages saying "Welcome".
Our President's Welcome from Pat Hromalik, LMFT Welcome to the Redwood Empire Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. I’m glad you are here. We are a vibrant, diverse group of therapists with a wide range of focuses and specialties, serving our communities in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and Lake Counties. Search our therapist directory using a variety of parameters to help you find potential therapists. Learn about our mission, vision, values and our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, racial and social justice. We pride ourselves on being one of the largest and most active CAMFT Chapters with many benefits to our members. While we promote the Licensed Marriage and Family designation, we welcome affiliate clinicians (LPCC, LCSW, PhD, PsyD, etc.) to join our community. We offer an array of CE trainings with dynamic monthly speakers covering a range of topics that are timely and cover new therapeutic methods and approaches. Our on-demand library of CE courses from prior presenters allows for learning on your schedule and at your own pace. There are opportunities for you to gather socially, to network, to engage in shared activities and hobbies, and to get support through our Ethics Roundtable consultation group and our CARE Circle (Compassion, Acknowledgement, Recharge and Empowerment). I am particularly excited about our renewed focus on prelicensed members through regular networking and speaker events, as well as robust scholarship offerings, all geared to help our next generation of therapists through their educational and experiential journey to licensure, and launching one of the most challenging and rewarding careers that there is. Learn more about membership and to join here. Our mission is further defined through our revised Strategic Three (3) Year Plan that I worked hard to shape based on my fellow board members thoughtful and honest input and evaluation during our 2025 planning retreat. I am committed to our goals and want to see as many of our objectives met as possible. We have a dedicated and dynamic team on the Board and we need your help to bring all these wonderful ideas and initiatives to life. Please consider getting involved through volunteering on a committee or serving on the board or helping with micro volunteer opportunities - email us at info@RECAMFT.org. We are a great group - we work hard, we have fun and we laugh a lot! I look forward to meeting more of you and getting to know you. I am honored to help lead our organization. Together we can make 2026 our best year ever! Pat Hromalik, LMFT 2026 RECAMFT President For the Community For Mental Health Professionals RECAMFT's Mission: "The purpose of RECAMFT is to promote and maintain professional competence and integrity with knowledge, innovation, compassion, humor and respect for human dignity and diversity. We do this by providing opportunities for networking, education and community outreach for our members.” Racial and Social Justice Pledge: RECAMFT is committed to equity including addressing structural racism and systemic injustice. We endeavor to be inclusive and value individuals from all ethnicities, ages, races, sexual orientations, genders, languages, abilities, religions, citizenship statuses, and socioeconomic backgrounds into our chapter and into treatment. We strive to advocate, educate, collaborate, and strategize for positive racial and social justice change within our membership and our community. The Best CE Bargain! You can earn ALL your CEs for renewal, simply by attending the monthly RECAMFT meetings and taking our Law & Ethics six-hour seminars, now offered as several 3-hour online trainings. It's the best CE bargain anywhere and includes fun networking with your colleagues, a wide variety of interesting speakers and topics, a chance to get known in the community for what you do, and great snacks! RECAMFT provides CEs for professionals who are licensed with the CA Board of Behavioral Sciences. There is no charge to members for 1.5 or more CEs at most general monthly meetings put on by this chapter. Non-members who desire CEs can pay to purchase a CE certificate. | Featured member |

with author David Khalili, LMFT, Board-Certified Sexologist

The training will explore strategies for identifying needs and pleasure, fostering comfort in discussing sex, and collaboratively creating new sexual expectations. This training integrates a biopsychosocial approach to assessing sexual concerns with relational interventions, empowering mental health professionals to effectively support clients navigating intimacy in today's demanding world. Participants will enhance their clinical skills and help clients move from shame to authentic intimacy.
