How to hide your email or phone number in your public Directory profile

New Membership Application:

Go to the Online Membership Application (in the "Membership" menu or click HERE).

Select the desired membership level and click the "Next" button at the bottom right of the page.

Complete the Member Application. If you do not want information to show in the directory, leave the field blank. However, we do require your name, email, phone and mailing address. Your mailing address will not show and you have the option of excluding your email or phone from the directory.

The Short Description (199 characters max) is what appears in the initial list of therapists. The Short and the (longer) Description (2950 characters max) appear in your profile. The entry fields are small so it's best to create the text in Word (or another application) and paste it into the field. Word also lets you check the number of characters (with spaces), go to the "Tools" menu and select "Word Count".

Note: Under "Areas of Emphasis," please do not select more than 5 areas. Any selections after the first 5 will be removed (this is done for reasons of fairness to other therapists in the directory). Click HERE for more on why.

Don't forget to upload your picture; it makes a difference.

Go to the bottom of the page and enter the Code as displayed (this is for security reasons).
