Road to Licensure - California & Utah Prelicensees
The process and preparation in becoming a therapist can be both exciting and arduous. It's a long road from grad school to licensure, and along the way a myriad of emotions and concerns can emerge. This is a safe space to experience group process and self-discovery with clinical support. Some concerns addressed include: pressures of grad school; working in stressful situations; managing countertransference; navigating complex cases; clinical supervision issues; test anxiety for board exams. Groups are via Zoom on either Wednesdays or Fridays, and all trainees and associates based in California or Utah are welcome to join.
