Niche Practice Symposium

This symposium will feature presentations from five mental health professionals with diverse niche practices (alternative dispute resolution for divorce, psychotherapy with gay and lesbian clients, child services, psychotherapy with immigrants, and trauma). Participants will hear first-hand accounts of how these professionals built their niche practices and the challenges and joys of their practice niches. They will also address how they have made adjustments in response to the pandemic and their use of technology.

• Describe multiple processes for building a niche practice.
• List advantages of technologies used in niche practices.
