Clinical Team
Our pre-licensed therapists are masters and doctoral-level graduate students pursuing licensure to become clinical psychologists, counselors, social workers, and therapists.
Research shows that pre-licensed therapists are highly effective, yet they are an under-utilized resource in the mental health community.
Who Are The Counselors?
Hopebound is committed to using pre-licenced therapists in our program. Our pre-licensed therapists are masters and doctoral-level graduate students pursuing licensure to become clinical psychologists, counselors, social workers, and marriage and family therapists.
All therapists must complete a certain number of supervised hours before they are eligible to be fully licensed in their state. The Hopebound program offers graduate students studying therapy the chance to fulfill these hours.
Research shows that pre-licensed therapists are highly effective, yet they are an under-utilized resource in the mental health community. Our counselors typically have a special interest and experience with under-resourced communities or young people and we provide opportunities for them to provide services to the communities they care about. They are highly passionate about working with the Hopebound population and providing high quality services to fulfill their course requirements.
