Spring
is the time of year when we celebrate newness and
joyous life changes.
Graduations provide a wonderful
opportunity for us to
reflect upon these changes. Several
LAGPA members have graduated from
their academic programs
this past year, and we would like to acknowledge
the success of
their work and congratulate them on their
jobs well done. If we have
missed your important occasion,
let us know and we will print an
announcement in the next
edition of Progress Notes.
Jon Moore Ubick, PsyD
Dr. Ubick has been a
member of LAGPA for several years now,
and is already helping
produce next year's conference.
Graduating from
California School of Professional
Psychology, Los Angeles (now Alliant
University), his
dissertation is titled, Intervention with the
Adolescent Male whose Mother
is living with Cancer.
This project is a
comprehensive literature review and critique. He also
offers recommendations
from a gender and developmental-age
syntonic perspective.
Jon is currently working in private
practice and accepting referrals. Please
email him for more
information, or to offer your personal congratulations
at
uzyrndl@aol.com.
Adam Jacobson, MSW
Mr. Jacobson has
been a LAGPA member for several years while
attending the aggressive UCLA School of Social
Welfare. However, his busy
schedule did not deter him
from learning
more about the community he serves in, and he has
actively attended LAGPA's
academic forums. Adam interned at the
Wright Institute, Los
Angeles, and currently works at the Didi
Hirsch Community Mental Health
Center.
Daniel Lane Gould, MSW
Mr. Gould, who describes himself as the
"average nice boy next door", has
been a strong voice for
transgender education in LAGPA and moderated a
thought provoking
program at our June conference. He graduated
from UCLA, and is
currently in private practice,
earning his hours towards
licensure. Already published
in professional and popular
journals, he has a promising future as a
psychotherapist and
activist.
Scott Gregory Shelp, RN, BA
Mr. Shelp graduated from California State
University, Northridge, with a
BA in Psychology. He has
worked for the past twelve
years as a nurse in St. Louis, MO, and in the
Southland at Cedars Sinai Medical Center and
Providence St. Joseph's
Medical Center. He has also been named the
Executive Director of
the CSUN help line, a service to assist
callers with crises and
any life change issues. Mr. Shelp has
been published in the Journal of
Homosexuality for his
research on "gaydar." A man of many talents, he
also designs successful web
pages that "pop" and catch the
viewers attention, Scott is
currently working on an MA in
Psychology at CSUN.

with degrees in Psychology and serve the
GLBT community are:
