What is an associate level therapist?
An associate level therapist is a professional who has completed their graduate degree in a mental health related field and is actively working towards eligibility to sit for their licensing exam. All of our associate level therapists have been carefully selected to ensure you with the highest quality care.

What can you expect when working with an associate level therapist?
Therapy sessions with an associate level therapist are very similar to sessions with a fully licensed clinician. At BlueBird Teleshrink, all sessions take place through a HIPPA compliant video platform. You will meet with the same associate level therapist each session, as we believe that the established relationship between you and your therapist is important for your therapeutic success.
Our associate level therapists are ready and available to help you achieve your counseling goals. They offer a compassionate, accepting environment that is geared to help make your therapeutic journey smooth. Our associate level therapists specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, substance abuse, complex trauma, LGBTQ+ challenges, and more.
What happens after your associate level therapist becomes licensed?
We often hire our associate level therapists into licensed roles at BlueBird Teleshrink. However, when an associate level therapist completes their training, they may choose to end sessions and leave the practice. Should this occur, you will be given plenty of warning and referral options. We promise to do our very best to reduce the impact this may have on you.
Still unsure about working with someone who is not licensed? We completely understand. It can be uncomfortable to think about receiving care from a therapist who has not yet completed their hours of experience or their licensure exams. That is why we are here to answer your questions and tell you about some of the many benefits of receiving care from an associate level therapist. Contact us today for more information!
