What Our Members Say

I can't think of a better way to put my money to work than group membership with the Anxiety and Depression Association of America for my organization Light On Anxiety. To have the opportunity to make ADAA's wealth of professional resources and trainings available to my staff is priceless. Thanks to ADAA, I do not have to have an in-house training department to ensure my clinical team is armed with the latest and greatest information on empirically supported treatments for anxiety, depression and related disorders.

Debra Kissen

Founder and CEO, Light on Anxiety

Our Institutional Membership with ADAA provides an important platform for our team to engage with the broader research community. It facilitates a high level of collaboration and interaction with fellow investigators, particularly during the annual conference, which is a key venue for sharing findings and staying integrated with the field. Beyond our own research contributions, the membership is an excellent resource for developing our trainees and provides a steady stream of evidence-based materials for our clients. It is a valuable partnership that supports our dual mission of advancing clinical science and providing high-quality care.
