Sponsored Psychotherapy Sessions

As part of the ACCMA Physician Wellness Program, physicians can meet with a therapist via Zoom for up to four sessions completely sponsored by ACCMA. Physicians and medical residents (ACCMA members and non-members) in Alameda and Contra Costa counties can take advantage of this ongoing program by directly contacting one of the mental health clinicians from our list of vetted mental health clinicians and indicating that you would like to participate in the ACCMA Sponsored Psychotherapy sessions. You can also contact the ACCMA at accma@accma.org or (510) 654-5383, ext. 6307 for more information.

 If you are in need of urgent assistance, please call (650) 756-7787, CMA's 24-Hour Physicians' and Dentists' Confidential Assistance Line.
