TYPES OF MEMBERSHIP

All members have access to our thriving network, community consultations, our listserve, in-person events and more. 

Our memberships changed on Oct. 15, 2025, with a substantially lower fee for most levels:

membership fees and levels

  • Membership fees are charged anually from the date you join, and vary based upon whether an individual is:

    • licensed as a mental health clinician or pre-licensed; 
    • in practice locally (SF Bay Area) or remotely only

Licensed memberships are available to clinicians who have been granted a license to provide psychotherapy by an appropriate governing body (Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors [LPCC, LPC, LMHC, etc.]).  

Pre-Licensed memberships are available to individuals studying to become a licensed clinician, either enrolled in an educational program or registered as an intern (ACSW, AMFT, APCC, Psychology Intern, etc.) with the appropriate governing body. Pre-licensed clinicians who join as Referral members must note their supervisor's name and license number on their Gaylesta Profile and all marketing materials.  

Remote memberships are available to licensed clinicians (see Licensed memberships, above) who practice outside of the San Francisco Bay Area; they are discounted as such members are not able to participate in our various social and educational events. Remote members are those who are at least 30 miles from San Francisco's Civic Center (the center point of zip code 94102).

Organizational memberships are specifically for nonprofit clinics or organizations with an LGBTQ-affirming perspective and providing low-fee mental health services to individuals and families. Organizational members are listed in both Find-a-Therapist and Find-a-Therapy-Group directories, with one custom profile page and custom URL.
