How to hide your email or phone number in your public Directory profile
Why specialization selections are limited
Select the desired membership level and click the "Next" button at the bottom right of the page.
Complete the Member Application. If you do not want information to show in the directory, leave the field blank. However, we do require your name, email, phone and mailing address. Your mailing address will not show and you have the option of excluding your email or phone from the directory.
Please complete the Short Description. The Short Description (199 characters max) is what appears in the initial list of therapists. The Short and the (longer) Description (2950 characters max) appear in your profile. The entry fields are small so it's best to create the text in Word (or another application) and paste it into the field. Word also lets you check the number of characters (with spaces), go to the "Tools" menu and select "Word Count."
Note: Please do not select more than the maximum allowed. Any selections after the maximum allowed will be removed (this is done for reasons of fairness to other therapists in the directory). See "Why Specialization Selections are Limited" at the bottom of this page for more details.
Don't forget to upload your HEAD SHOT ONLY picture; it makes a difference. Your profile is much more likely to be clicked if it has a professional headshot.
Go to the bottom of the page and enter the Code as displayed (this is for security reasons).
Click "Next" at the very bottom right of the page.
Select Payment Method:
Your new membership will be activated within a couple of days.
Click on "Forgot password" (to the right of the login button, on the left side of the page, below the menu - look carefully, it's there).
Enter the email address you used with your RECAMFT membership and click submit. If you are unsure of the email address, you might check the Therapist Directory, if you are in it, it will have your email.
An email will be sent to you containing a link to setup your password.
If you never receive a response the email may not be in the system. If you have another email you might try it. Also, remember that RECAMFT membership is separate from the state CAMFT membership. Or you can contact therapy@RECAMFT.org who will check to see if you are in the system and update or enter your email address. Be sure to give your full name.
After setting up a new password, you can now login into your profile via the login box (on the upper right corner of the page).
The first time you login you will be asked, "I agree to terms of use for this website software," click the check box if you agree.
You will be in your profile now.
Be sure to save any changes and logout when you are done.
See "Update Your Profile" instructions below.
Click your name (on the upper right corner of the home page). This will take you to your profile.
Click the "Renew until (date)" button.
Review the information and click "Next."

If you do not want to your email to show click "No access" for Email. Or if you only want to be contacted by email, you would click "No access" for Phone (normally if you do not want information to show in the directory, you would leave the field blank, but we require email and phone, so this gives you a way for you to hide it if you prefer).
Please leave the rest of the selections as they are.

Why Specialization Selections Are Limited
This is done in an attempt to keep the lists focused on our top areas and for reasons of fairness to clients and other therapists in the directory. It is tempting to check all the areas we have interest and some expertise in.
We are in a friendly competition with other therapist for clients. If one therapist checked 15 another checked 3 (that are true areas of specialty), the one with 3 would be at a disadvantage. Also, the potential client would not be as well served by this.
So we have set a limit. Unfortunately the system allows you to check more than the maximum allowed. So in the mean time, we will be reviewing the profiles and removing any more than maximum allowed.
We hope that this explanation addresses the "Why".
