    presents

    Middle Eastern North African (MENA)  Therapists Community Group

    First Monday of Every Month

    Next Meeting:
    Monday, September 8, 2025
    9:30am-10:30am

    Online Via Zoom

    Free Registration

    The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

    Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

      Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

      For more information, contact the facilitators at mena@lacamft.org.

      A safe place for healing, connection, support and building community.

      How Can I Help? Answers for Therapists Without Much Training in Eating Disorders

      with Alli Spotts-De Lazzer, LMFT, LPCC, CEDS-C

      A note from our presenter, a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist and Consultant:

      The inspiration for this presentation comes from years of feedback well-summarized by this note: “I think a lot of clinicians see a client with an eating disorder and think, ‘That’s above my pay grade. Automatic pass.’ I’d love to know how a non-specialist (like me) can help!” So, we’ll start there. It’s true that it takes thousands of hours to learn to treat people with eating disorders, but to be helpful? All clinicians can do that. Instead of an eating disorders 101-type workshop, this presentation will address the questions most frequently asked by therapists, such as “Why are these disorders so resistant to treatment?,” “What gets in the way of non-specialists giving effective care?,” and – the heart of this workshop – “How can I help?”

      Educational Goals/Learning Objectives:

      To increase practitioners’ knowledge of eating disorders.

      At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

      1. Correct at least two longstanding myths about eating disorders.
      2. Explain two reasons, shown by research, why these disorders can be so persistent and thus challenging to treat.
      3. Identify at least three ways to help to clients with eating disorders.

        Presenter:

        Alli Spotts-De Lazzer is an LMFT, LPCC, and CEDS-C (Certified Eating Disorders Specialist and Consultant.) Her public advocacy includes writing for Psychology Today, authoring MeaningFULL: 23 Life-Changing Stories of Conquering Dieting, Weight, and Body Image Issues, designing social-media literacy content, and creating the nationally recognized #ShakeIt for Self-Acceptance! – a mental health initiative providing education through dance. Dedicated to professional advancement, she has published in academic journals, developed eating disorders training curricula, taught at major conferences, and held leadership roles with top professional associations. Her contributions have been honored by the City of Los Angeles, International Association for Eating Disorders Professionals, and American Psychiatric Association.

            White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

            Third Sunday of Every Month

            Next Meeting:
            Sunday, September 21, 2025
            3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

            Online Via Zoom

            The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.

                The MENA Therapists Community Group is a safe place across the Middle Eastern and North African therapist diaspora to build community and a sense of belonging. We hold an inclusive space to process the impact of cultural biases experienced by people of MENA descent and the effect it may have on our work as mental health professionals. Within the process, we will strive to create healing, support, and empowerment. We will collaboratively exchange ideas, experiences and resources while acknowledging cultural differences and shared similarities. As the poet Khalil Gibran states — “The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you.” — our community will create a place to be seen, heard, and understood.

                Special Note: MENA Therapists Community Group meetings are intended as a place for MENA-identifying therapists to have a safe place amongst others in the same ethnic and cultural community to share and process their personal and professional experiences. Therapists from similar cultural backgrounds (e.g., South Asian, mixed identities that include MENA, etc.) are also welcome. If you are not MENA-identifying or from a similar cultural background and instead wish to join these meetings for the purpose of learning about the MENA population, we offer consultations separately. You are more than welcome to schedule a one-on-one consultation by emailing us.

                  Open to LA-CAMFT Members and Non-Members.

                  We are thrilled to invite past, present, and interested program participants to the transformative Dishes of Diversity: Finding Liberation Through Community, hosted by the Therapists of Color Mentorship Program.

                  • Interactive Social Activities designed to deepen our understanding of community dynamics that foster collective healing and growth.
                  • Networking Opportunities to connect with fellow therapists, sponsors, mentors, and mentees to build lasting relationships and expand our professional network within a supportive and inclusive environment.
                  • Free Heritage Headshots aimed to create images that are not only professional but authentically reflect our cultural identity. Bring a cultural artifact, traditional garment, ancestral piece of jewelry, or a symbolic item as a prop that will be beautifully integrated into your headshot to uniquely highlight your heritage.
                  • Dishes of Diversity Culinary Potluck, our highly anticipated grand feast that celebrates the rich cultural tapestry of our communities of color with dishes that guests will bring to share. Bring your favorite dish from your culture.

                  White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR)

                  Third Sunday of Every Month

                  Next Meeting:
                  Sunday, November 16, 2025
                  3:00pm-5:00pm (PT)

                  Online Via Zoom

                  The goal of White Therapists Fighting Racism (WTFR) is for white-identified therapists to become effective allies in support of decolonization and racial justice in our clinical practice, therapy association, and community. Recognizing that racism is maintained when whiteness is invisible to white people, WTFR provides a forum for white-identified therapists to explore what it means to be white. While this process includes learning about structural racism and deconstructing the false narrative about race, a primary focus in the group is on doing inner work.
