Peter Cellarius, LMFT
I have been the CAMFT Board pre-licensed director-at-large for the last 18 months. I also chair the pre-licensed committee of CAMFT. It has been such a pleasure and a privilege to be able to work with my fellow board members for the benefit of our constituents! During my term we have issued a first-ever best practices concerning the supervision and payment of pre-licensed MFTs; we have enhanced our support of local CAMFT chapters; we have issued a revised CAMFT code of ethics; improved Legal Line availability; and strengthened awareness of inclusion and diversity in our hiring and operating practices.
I was recently honored to be nominated for the position of Secretary for the 2021-2022 board term. If elected I intend to continue to lobby and work with fellow board members on items closest to my heart. These include:
I look for inspiration from those who are wiser than me, and in our business, those are easy to find. I recall well one professor who influenced me a lot and who told me, “please advocate for justice, especially racial justice, and for the integrity of our profession at CAMFT. Advocate for what is right and necessary instead of what will keep the people in power most comfortable.” If I can take even small steps in the direction he set out and exemplifies, I am doing well. So, if my hopes and aspirations align in some way with your own—please vote for me. I will do the very best I can to be of service.
With warmth and virtual hugs,
Peter
