Thank you to everyone who has already logged into the portal and begun updating your biographical information.
We are writing to share several important updates regarding the directory's features:
Bio and Specialties Sections Now Available
As many of you noted, the “Bio” and “Specialties” sections were not available at launch. These have now been added. You may now log in to update your biography. You can still access the old system to copy your bio from there into the new system.
The “Specialties” list has also been revised based on years of community feedback. To respect the diverse professional backgrounds of our members, we have moved away from using specific mental health diagnoses and toward more inclusive categories.
Update Your Directory Email
For privacy reasons, we did not migrate personal contact data into the new directories. Many members provide home addresses to SEI, and we wanted to ensure no private information was made public without your consent. If you wish to be contacted through the directory, you must manually enter your preferred “Directory Email” in your profile. You may also enter a phone number and street address.
Timeline for Launch
The new directories are scheduled to go live next week. Please complete your profile updates by February 2, 2026 (this is a one-day extension from our original deadline).
Photo Upload Process
Your new Profile photo will be manually uploaded by SEI Staff. Please understand that this effort involves thousands of profile updates by a small staff. Thank you for your patience as we process your photo upload as quickly as possible!
- Action Required: To submit your photo, please log into the new SEI portal, and go to My Info, then Directory Info, then Practitioner Photo Upload Form. The form also lists the requirements for the photo.
We are deeply grateful for your support during this process. This new system is much more streamlined, gives you more control over your profile, and allows us to grow and support you in ways we never could have with the old, disconnected systems. We are working hard to connect the SE community to each other more seamlessly and with more care and attention. In a world that feels so fractured, we are working to bring us all closer together where we can continue to transform lives through healing trauma.
