    We are thrilled beyond words to be hosting this years National Conference. Our conference theme is “Leaving your limits behind”. We can accomplish this task by incorporating new ideas, innovative techniques, education, and interactive events to build stronger community bonds and exceed our own possibilities.

    Letting go of our preconceptions and embracing change through exploration. Participants, have the ability to create their own safe spaces to learn and ask questions, ” I wonder what’s on the other side?”, “What if…,” and then, “Let’s try…,”. As therapists we crave to grow and evolve in order to benefit our clients, ourselves, and our community around the world. Welcome to the idea EXCHANGE.
