TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AT LA VIE COUNSELING CENTER
La Vie Counseling Center is a non-profit corporation established to serve the community by providing counseling, education, and training.
La Vie seeks to offer the best from the psychological sciences in an effort to treat the whole person: body, mind, spirit, and relationships.
While we welcome clients of all faith backgrounds and practices, we are uniquely qualified to offer Christian clients a sophisticated integration of spiritual and emotional issues.
We train both pre- and post-doctoral Psychological Assistants, MFTs and Professional Counselors at both the practicum (pre-degree or trainee) 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.
Our staff also features therapists with significant training and experience in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Intersubjectivity Theory.
MFT Trainees, LPC Trainees, Associate MFTs, and Psychological Assistants are hired throughout the year depending on availability of spaces.
