Training for LMFT-Associates and LPC-Interns
Krist Samaritan Center offers residency training for individuals who have completed a graduate degree in a counseling discipline and seek clinical supervision to complete their licensure requirements. Our clinical supervisors are all approved by a state licensing board (psychologists, professional counselors and marriage and family therapists).
Krist Samaritan Center trains participants to consolidate and refine their present theory while growing in experience. Participants gain the unique experience of understanding counseling through a faith perspective, and are trained to integrate theological insights into their work. Participants sharpen their skills in the practice of different clinical modalities, including working with children, adults and families. Graduates have excellent clinical skills, can articulate their theory of care and are ready for licensure.
