The
Association of Private Practice Therapists (APPT) is a
multi-disciplinary group of mental health professionals in Nebraska.
The organization provides a forum for the exchange of practice
management information and the development of advocacy plans for mental
health practitioners and consumers.
APPT is the result of
grassroots meetings of private practice professionals who were
interested in impacting the regulation and legislation of mental health
services. At the time the meetings were held in the fall of 1993, 45
participants established the initial organizational structure of APPT.
The organization now has more than 185 members.
While
most of our membership comes from the private practice sector, all
practitioners with a desire for professional development are encouraged
to join. Students, too, are welcome - even if you are not sure about
taking on the challenges of private practice until later in your
career.
The accomplishments of APPT since it was founded in
September, 1993, are incredible. Members throughout Nebraska represent
counseling (marriage and family, addictions, EAP, and pastoral), social
work, psychology, psychiatry, nursing, and educational therapy. APPT is
the first truly multi-disclipinary organization for mental health
providers in the state. APPT was incorporated as a not-for-profit
organization in 1995.
Contacts with other mental health groups around the state -- including
are being made in order to determine legislative priorities for the future.
