The PDA Therapy Collaborative (or PDA-TC for short) is a case consultation group that has been meeting regularly since the Fall of 2023.

You can read more about us here: https://pdatherapycollaborative.com/about-2/

We support one another’s work and are a high concept incubator for unfolding best practices. We open our conversations to you to build a collective voice for the PDA professional community.

To support our work and our site, we ask participants to become a subscriber to the PDA-TC but feel free to join us and try our groups. We want to meet you and you are always welcome.

Since February of 2025 we have held these groups to foster collegiality and new collaborations.

I have watched professionals from the same state meet each other for the first time. I have personally developed new trusted referral sources and study partners. I hope you will too!

Many of us are merging our personal with our professional understanding of PDA so we especially need a community of like minded professionals.

The value of professional collegiality and collaboration is deeply relevant to our work. We are embedded in communities and systems across the country gathering practice experience and case data on what is working for our clients. Let’s share what we know and incubate our ideas and our thinking.
