therapy for pre-licensed therapists

Starting out as a therapist can feel overwhelming. If you're a pre-licensed therapist (registered intern or associate) looking for therapy, I offer a supportive space to process your own experiences, navigate professional challenges, and manage the emotional demands of clinical work.

This service is for you if you:

  • Struggle with imposter syndrome or self-doubt in your clinical work

  • Feel emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed by client cases

  • Want to explore your own personal growth while developing your professional identity

You're entering a field where you hold space for others—but who’s holding space for you? As a pre-licensed therapist, you’re balancing clinical work, supervision, self-doubt, and the pressure to "get it right." The work is meaningful, but it’s also heavy.

Common struggles for pre-licensed therapists:

  • Feeling like an imposter—wondering if you’re truly helping your clients

  • Struggling with self-doubt and feeling "not enough"

  • Balancing client care, supervision, and your own emotional needs

  • Feeling emotionally drained or second-guessing your effectiveness

  • Learning how to set boundaries with clients, supervisors, and yourself

Therapy can be a safe place for you to process the emotional weight of being a clinician, explore your own personal and professional growth, and make sure you’re taking care of yourself in the process.

What to Expect in Sessions

  • A judgment-free space to talk about the realities of being a new therapist

  • Processing countertransference, burnout, and emotional fatigue

  • Guidance in navigating imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and career transitions

  • Building emotional resilience so you can stay in this field long-term

Disclaimer: This service is for therapy, not clinical supervision. If you need supervision hours toward licensure, I’m happy to provide referrals to qualified supervisors.
