Welcome!

If you are a Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the Long Beach or South Bay areas, welcome. The Long Beach - South Bay chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) invites you to take part in a community of licensed clinicians, pre-licensed clinicians, trainees, students, and related professionals who care about supportive relationships, professional development, and useful networking opportunities.

Welcome to those of you who are just visiting the LBSB Chapter website!  I am filled with gratitude for the continued support of the Long Beach South Bay Chapter of CAMFT Members.  Your commitment to our mission has helped drive significant progress in expanding effective therapeutic services and critical mental health care for the Long Beach and South Bay communities and beyond. 

As I take on the role of President, I recognize each one of you is making every effort to meet the rising need in mental health care services. With your generosity, and kindness through membership fees and donations as well as the sponsorship donations we receive we are able to:

  • Provide expert educational presentations which include continuing education credits.

  • Support to those who are Pre Licensed on the road to Licensure.

  • Collaborative networking opportunities at each Event whether social or educational.

  • Launch Special Interest Groups among the local Clinicians in various formats.

Thank you for standing with us as we work to make a lasting impact in the professional lives of those who need it most.  Clinicians at all levels! Why? They pour into the lives of hurting people using their expertise to provide effective emotional support and unconditional acceptance. 

Chris McKnight M.A., LMFT
President LBSB Chapter of CAMFT

Therapy, Made for Real Life

At Fortiva Therapy, we believe therapy should be practical, empowering, and human. Whether you're facing a life change, emotional struggles, or just feeling stuck, we help you turn insight into action with compassionate care and real, lasting tools for change.

We work alongside you to identify what’s holding you back—and guide you forward with clarity, resilience, and support that meets you where you are. Therapy doesn’t have to feel vague or distant. At Fortiva, it’s relatable, results-focused, and made for real life.
