Frequently asked Questions
What does it mean to be an "Associate Marriage and Family Therapist?"
To become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist a clinician must have a Masters degree in the subject and complete 3,000 supervised hours. Prior to completing the Master's Degree a clinician is considered a "trainee". After earning their degree, but before finishing 3,000 supervised hours, the clinician gets a sort of "pre-licensed license" called an Associate number and is considered an Associate. This means that I work under the supervision of a licensed supervisor. You can learn more about her at her website: courtneybrainlmft.com
