The New Jersey Association of Women Therapists (NJAWT) is a vibrant, multi-disciplinary association of mental health professionals that draws it's members from throughout the state.  We were founded in 1976 by a  group of 12 women therapists who felt isolated in their work and desired a way to come together to find support and opportunities for professional collaboration.  The group gained momentum and over the years evolved into what is now a stimulating and well established collegial organization that offers opportunities for continuing education.  Our membership serves the New Jersey community by offering mental health services via their work in private practice, mental health facilities, universities, hospitals and other settings.
