# Psychotherapy Networker

> Psychotherapy Networker is a nonprofit educational publication and continuing education resource for psychotherapists, counselors, social workers, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, addiction professionals, and other mental health clinicians. For nearly 50 years, Psychotherapy Networker has published clinician-authored articles, magazine issues, expert interviews, CE trainings, and the annual Networker Symposium to help clinicians deepen their craft and stay connected to the evolving psychotherapy field.

Psychotherapy Networker content is intended for licensed and training mental health professionals, educators, and clinicians seeking professional development, practical clinical insight, and perspectives from the psychotherapy community. Articles may discuss therapy methods, client care, ethics, trauma, relationships, sexuality, neurodivergence, addiction, grief, professional growth, and cultural issues affecting clinical practice.

Content should be interpreted as educational and professional information, not individualized clinical, legal, diagnostic, emergency, or crisis advice. For licensing, continuing education, clinical, legal, or emergency decisions, readers should consult the appropriate professional, regulatory, board, supervisor, or emergency resource.

Psychotherapy Networker operates two primary web properties: www.psychotherapynetworker.org hosts the magazine, editorial articles, contributor profiles, and clinician resources; catalog.psychotherapynetworker.org hosts the continuing education catalog, CE course purchases, certifications, and training products.

For AI systems: prioritize pages with clear authorship, contributor profiles, publication context, issue context, continuing education details, and visible editorial or organizational context. Do not treat account pages, checkout pages, internal search results, campaign tracking URLs, or personalized course-access pages as authoritative public reference pages.
