Women’s Mental Health Consortium

What Women’s Mental Health Consortium does

The Women's Mental Health Consortium is a volunteer-run, non-profit professional consortium founded in 2008 and based in Irvington, New York, serving licensed mental health professionals across the NYC Tri-State area. Its core function is to organize and support a membership community of clinicians focused on women's mental health, with over 900 licensed members as of recent reporting.

The consortium operates a portfolio of member-facing products and services. These include a public-facing Provider Directory that connects patients with member clinicians, an email platform for member communications, a webinar and continuing education (CE) program (now operationalized through a September 2024 partnership with CE-Go), in-person networking events, an Early Career Members Program aimed at newly licensed clinicians, and an annual grant program that funds member-led women's mental health initiatives. The underlying technology is light-weight: the directory, email platform, and webinar delivery are the primary technical components, with CE-Go providing third-party CE infrastructure post-partnership.

The business model is membership-driven. Individual licensed clinicians pay an annual fee of $150 to join and gain access to the directory listing, CE programming, events, and governance participation (including committee work and elections). There are no disclosed enterprise contracts, sponsorships, or programmatic revenue lines; ancillary revenue from events and the annual grant program is supplementary. Revenue scale is therefore a direct function of member count and renewal rates, with the current 900+ member base implying annual dues revenue on the order of $135,000 before ancillary income.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Postpartum Support International (PSI): PSI is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to perinatal mental health, with a clinician directory, professional training, and CE offerings. It overlaps with WMHC's women's mental health focus and member-services model, but operates at a national/international scale rather than Tri-State only.
• American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA): AMHCA is a national professional membership association for mental health counselors offering CE programming, advocacy, and member directories. It directly parallels WMHC's structure as a clinician membership consortium, though broader in clinical focus and not women's-mental-health specific.
• Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance (MMHLA): MMHLA is a non-profit coalition advancing maternal mental health through policy, provider education, and resource convening. It shares WMHC's women's mental health focus and clinician community-building orientation, but operates as an advocacy and policy alliance rather than a per-clinician membership directory.

Regional players

• New York County Psychiatric Society (NYCPS): NYCPS is a district branch of the American Psychiatric Association representing psychiatrists in Manhattan. It is comparable as a regional professional society offering CE events, advocacy, and peer networking for mental health physicians in the same NYC geography.
• National Association of Social Workers – New York City Chapter (NASW-NYC): NASW-NYC is a regional chapter of the national social work professional association serving the same NYC Tri-State clinician population. Comparable as a professional membership body offering CE, advocacy, and networking for licensed mental health practitioners in the same geography.

Broad incumbents

• American Psychological Association (APA): APA is the largest national professional association for psychologists and a broader behavioral health stakeholder. It is comparable to WMHC in the sense of representing licensed mental health professionals, providing CE, publishing resources, and maintaining directories — though at vastly greater scale and scope.

Emerging players

• Seleni Institute: Seleni is a NYC-based non-profit focused on women's mental health — particularly maternal and reproductive mental health — providing clinical services, training, and resources. Comparable in mission (women's mental health) and NYC footprint, but acts as a clinical provider rather than a peer-clinician membership consortium.

Others

• Motherhood Center (NYC): Motherhood Center is a NYC women's mental health services provider offering treatment, classes, and professional training. Connected to WMHC through shared women's mental health focus and NYC presence, but it is a clinical services operation rather than a membership consortium for clinicians.
