About IRTG
The Ithaca Region Therapist Group (IRTG) strives to be a place for therapists and mental health professionals in Ithaca and the Finger Lakes Region to connect, network, and share resources. The IRTG website provides a place for individuals and community organizations to locate private therapists and mental health professionals with current openings or waitlists. In the directory, members of the IRTG offer a summary of the services provided. Use the FIND A THERAPIST to search for a therapist in Ithaca and the surrounding counties. The UPCOMING EVENTS will provide information on groups and mental health programming. The RESOURCE will list public and non-profit organizations that provide mental health support. Check out the SPOTLIGHT page and read an interview with our local therapists, who are spotlighted quarterly. If you want to become a member and add your name to the directory, go to the MEMBERSHIP page.
History
The Ithaca Therapist Group’s listserv was first created in 2005, and after some initial technical missteps, it found its current home on Google Groups soon after. Thanks to Peggy Dieter, Joyce Sirlin-Rand, Dr. Jerry Feist, Joan Lovejoy, Linda Mack, Howard and Roz Feinstein who are part of the original Ithaca Therapist Group. Additional thanks to Rich Gallagher, Sarah Cort, and all the clinicians who have supported the growth of this community. The ITG listserv now boasts nearly 600 members, averaging around 150 posts per month and serving as a valuable resource for the therapy community.
