For MFT Interns/Associates and Psychological Assistants
We train pre- and post-doctoral Psychological Assistants, (pre-degree, pre-license) Marriage and Family Therapists and (pre-degree, pre-license) Professional Counselors at both the practicum and registered intern/associate level.
Our goal is to develop skilled Christian professionals who demonstrate genuine compassion and ethical integrity as well as therapeutic excellence.
At La Vie, LPC, MFT Trainees and MFT Associates are exposed to a culturally diverse client population and collaborate with colleagues from other mental health disciplines, including clinical psychologists and clinical social workers.
Our training program provides psychodynamic family systems supervision with a distinct psychoanalytic bent.
