Mirrors of the Mind 11: The Psychotherapist as Artist From Chaos to Coherence
THIS IS A VIRTUAL ART EXHIBITION!

This is the 11th year that Mirrors of The Mind has been organized by LACPA. Now, in its virtual form, it serves as a space for psychotherapists to demonstrate the power of art in our community and our unique position as mental health professionals to communicate important truths.
