Welcome:

I'm delighted to welcome you to the Upper East Side & Greater Manhattan Mental Health Professionals Listserv. Our diverse membership includes therapists, psychiatrists, primary healthcare providers, and other healthcare professionals. We aim to create an engaging, respectful, and collaborative space for all members!

​

Group Purpose:

The purpose of this group is to help other providers in the mental health field whether this be connecting them with psychiatrists, pediatricians, or other providers that are able to improve collaborative care or individual care for the person in need of healthcare services. Additionally, please feel free to share resources, articles, office spaces for rent, job postings, group offerings, individual services, and help others in this community problem solve when it comes to specific health-related questions or dilemmas. Lastly, I welcome any suggestions to improve this space for us as this is an ever-expanding space that is always growing and am always open to new ideas, meetups, and learning opportunities! Looking forward to having each of you in this group and connecting with you in the near future (if I have not already)!
