Greetings to our New Website Visitors!

It is with tremendous pride that I welcome you to the new website for the Hudson Valley Psychological Association. We hope that you will take the time to browse around and check out its many features, particularly the ones that allow you to very efficiently “Find a Therapist” and “Find an Evaluator”. In the near future, we will be adding information on how to find local Group Therapy services and Support Groups. If you need any help, please do not hesitate to fill out the Contact Form on the website and someone on the Board will get in touch with you.

Let me tell you about one of our most exciting upcoming events: the 2011 Psychologically Healthy Community Awards Event that will be held this May, as part of Mental Health Month. This gala event will honor those individuals and organizations that have made extraordinary efforts, in the recent past, to improve the mental and emotional health of our community’s residents. Awards will be given in four categories: a Collaborative Effort Across Multiple Organizations; a Single Organization; a Community Member; and an HVPA Member. I encourage you to nominate as many people and organizations as you feel are appropriate using the application form found on this website, but act quickly: the Nomination Deadline is February 20th!

Warmly,
Lenore Strocchia-Rivera, Ph.D.
HVPA President
