What are the Benefits of Working with an Associate Therapist?

Affordable

Associate therapists often offer services at a lower rate compared to fully licensed therapists. This can make therapy more accessible for clients who are budget-conscious.

Fresh Perspectives

Associate therapists are often recent graduates with up-to-date knowledge of the latest techniques, theories, and evidence-based practices. They bring creative approaches to therapy that blend new methods with traditional practices.

Supervision

Associates are typically under the supervision of a licensed clinician. This dual layer of support means clients benefit from the associate’s expertise plus the oversight and insights of an experienced therapist.
