What to Expect
Therapy sessions with an associate therapist or psychologist-in-training are very similar to sessions with a
fully-licensed professional.
At CW, our associate-level therapists have already obtained a master’s degree and are
working towards their licensure either as a licensed professional counselor, licensed
clinical social worker, or psychologist. Our psychologists-in-training also hold a master's degree, and are currently enrolled in doctoral programs and have completed a minimum of 15 graduate credit hours.
Sessions generally take place one-on-one in an office setting or online. They may be
recorded with audio or visual devices or have live observation and/or
collaboration with the supervisor present. If this happens you will be told ahead of time
and all recordings will be treated with the utmost respect and privacy protection. These
recordings and/or observations are merely so the clinician can be supervised.
Recordings are deleted immediately after review. You have the right to refuse the
recording of any and all sessions.
Once the clinician completes training, they may choose to end sessions and move on to
a different environment. In which case, they will give ample warning and referral
options. We will do our very best to reduce the impact this change has on you and
oftentimes hire clinicians in training into licensed clinician roles at the practice.
