Pre-Licensed Therapist Program

At the Center for Dynamic Healing, we are proud to offer a unique approach to mental health counseling through our team of Pre-Licensed Therapists. These dedicated professionals have completed all the educational requirements necessary for licensure and are now in the crucial phase of gaining the experience required to obtain their full licensure. Each week, they engage in supervision to refine their skills and enhance their therapeutic techniques.

The Benefits of Working with Pre-Licensed Therapists

Our pre-licensed therapists are supported by passionate supervisors, which enhances their learning. With a fresh outlook and a commitment to learning, these emerging clinicians bring energy and enthusiasm to our practice. Often creating stronger therapeutic relationships within the practice by bringing their unique passion and perspective to current cultural dynamics.

They are also dedicated to developing their own personal unique therapeutic approaches and are deeply engaged in the latest research and treatment methods. This means you benefit from a dynamic healing community rather than just the perspective of one individual.

At the Center for Dynamic Healing, we believe that the journey of healing is best undertaken together. Our Pre-Licensed Therapists are here to provide you with compassionate, effective care as they embark on their professional journeys. Join us in exploring the transformative power of therapy.
