APOV and the Vermont State Roster

                                                     ~~Zacciah Blackburn, PhD

 03.28.13

Zacciah will be teaching at a semi-annual gathering of The Associated Psychotherapists of Vermont (APOV), Thursday, April 4, 2013, in Claremont NH.
See program content here.

All Wholistic Practitioners in Vermont will want to take note of this:

APOV is.....
"...a group of associated psychotherapists who fill an important niche in the therapeutic community in Vermont. We are associated by our desire to offer a wide variety of practices loosely held under the heading of psychotherapy. Our orientation is a large and inclusive framework which includes such models as body-centered and psycho-spiritual psychotherapies that seek to address the empowerment and well being of the whole person. We support emotional and spiritual growth and personal empowerment. We have gathered within an organization that seeks to represent a diversity of practitioners all under one umbrella.”

 The Vermont Statutes Defines Psychotherapy:

(4) “Psychotherapy” means the provision of treatment, diagnosis, evaluation or counseling services to individuals or groups, for a consideration, for the purpose of alleviating mental disorders. “Psychotherapy” involves the application of therapeutic techniques to understand unconscious or conscious motivation, resolve emotional, relationship or attitudinal conflicts, or modify behavior which interferes with effective emotional, social or mental functioning. “Psychotherapy” follows a systematic procedure of psychotherapeutic intervention which takes place on a regular basis over a period of time, or, in the case of evaluation and brief psychotherapies, in a single or limited number of interventions.

Vermont law requires that all psychotherapists be licensed, certified or registered with the state…

APOV members are listed by the The State of Vermont with A Roster Called:

The State Roster of Psychotherapists, Non-licensed and Non-Certified, which is maintained at the office Professional Regulation, in the Office of the Secretary of State, in Montpelier.

This roster provides a list of such practitioners, their addresses and qualifications, and also a grievance procedure for processing complaints, if and when any should arise.

The creation of the roster gives the public an opportunity to choose from a broad spectrum of professional traditions, philosophies, and working styles, together with a great measure of safety and redress. In this, Vermont has been a leader and a role model to other States who are considering how to serve the public in a more inclusive manner. APOV members are legal to practice in the State of Vermont because of this Roster.

Currently APOV is, also, taking action to potentially include Vermont Roster members in insurance coverage through Vermont State Health plans  

APOV's Purposes Are:

  • To promote excellence in psychotherapeutic helping disciplines.
  • To increase public awareness of and access to the rich diversity of psychotherapeutic helping modalities – ancient, traditional, and modern – that recognize the connections among the body, mind, emotions, and spirit, and that focus and build on wellness and on the ability of individuals to participate in their own healing and their interactions with others and with society.
  • To respond to the interests and concerns of members.

See complete details on APOV, the State Roster at the APOV web site,
and the upcoming program April 4 here.

Our practices embody these principals of sound and consciousness.
We welcome you to ask about our work and practices which might benefit you.

Our School of Sound Healing teaches these practices.  Watch for our next article on the art of Sacred Sound, and how to attune to heightened states of consciousness, embrace, embody and voice them.
Our Egyptian practices, and other esoteric programs, embody these principals, such as our upcoming Horus and Golden Body Practices.
And, they are part of our Earth Energies classes.
