Understanding Our Team's Clinical Standards

The letters following a therapist’s name outline their university degree and current licensing track. At our practice, every provider—regardless of designation—is a Master's-level clinician who participates in advanced training and intensive, collaborative clinical supervision.

Licensed Interns & Associates (CSW-I, CPC-I)

Clinical Interns are post-graduate professionals who have earned their Master’s degrees and are fully approved by the state board to practice therapy while accumulating their advanced specialization hours.

Why this benefits your care: Working with an associate means your progress is guided by a collaborative team approach. Their cases are rigorously reviewed in intensive, weekly consultations alongside senior clinicians. This ensures a built-in safety net, multi-lens clinical planning, and unmatched quality control for your relationship goals.

Fully Licensed Clinicians (LCSW, LMFT, CPC)

INDEPENDENT, SEASONED EXPERTS
These professionals have graduated with their Master’s degrees, passed comprehensive state board examinations, and completed thousands of hours of post-graduate clinical service. They practice independently and offer a deep, foundational specialization in evidence-based individual and couples care.
