We owe a great debt to our volunteers. They’ve represented New Leaf at such events as the AIDS Walk and the Folsom Street Fair; assisted with our Gala and other fund-raisers; and helped with office work and mailings. Thank you for making a difference.

They not only give us time and talent, they are a vital connection to the community. “ Steven Harlow, Clinical Director. New Leaf is well-respected in the Bay Area clinical and LGBTQQI communities not only for the services we provide to clients today, but for the training we provide to the clinicians of tomorrow. Our Clinical Volunteers provide two vital services to New Leaf. They enable the agency to serve 1,300 clients in 23,000 therapy sessions a year, and they help train a new generation of multi-culturally competent clinicians who can serve the unique needs of our diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex clients. New Leaf’s Clinical Volunteer Program also creates a cycle of service, where former interns and clinical staff return to the agency to offer their expertise and experience to the next generation of LGBTQQI-affirming clinicians. There are three different ways clinicians can get involved at New Leaf – as a Volunteer Clinician, as a Volunteer Supervisor, or as a Trainer. Volunteer Clinicians provide direct individual, couple, or group psychotherapy; Volunteer Supervisors provide interns, on-site volunteer and staff clinicians with multi-culturally-affirming supervision; and Trainers provide didactic trainings and in-services on a variety of clinical topics. All of our Clinical Volunteers are considered a part of the “New Leaf Professional Community.” New Leaf wants to express our deepest gratitude to these Clinical Volunteers who have devoted their time and expertise to see that the circle of LGBTTQI clinical services remains unbroken. Mental health therapist in the community and former New Leaf interns and staff who are interested in volunteering their clinical services to New Leaf are encouraged to contact the Clinical Training Director, Michelanne Baker, at 415.626.6000, ext. 413, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
