We believe that therapy should be affordable and accessible for everyone. With that in mind, our Master's Level Internship program allows clients to access therapy quicker and more affordably without reducing the quality of therapy. Clients benefit from the Intern's more immediate availability, their newly acquired knowledge of psychotherapy, as well as the direct supervision of a more experienced therapist.

Supervision is an integral part of the on-going development of skills and competence of therapists.
