Did you know: Our Graduate Counseling Interns have additional availability for clients seeking low-cost and FREE therapy services! 🙌

Our outstanding Clinical Intern team from the WFU Graduate Counseling Department provides skillful and compassionate care to children age 3+ and parents, as well as individual teen and adult clients. Clients who work with our interns are in especially good hands: both Lexi & Austin have prior clinical work experience that is trauma-informed, behaviorally-impactful, relationship-focused, and client-centered. In addition to this, they work in coordination with senior members of our clinical team to ensure clients are getting top-notch services session to session. In other words, clients who work with Lexi and Austin essentially get three therapists for the price of one (or in the case of clients participating in free therapy… three therapists for the price of none)!

We love having Austin & Lexi on our team, as they bring fresh insight and new perspectives on the latest research and practice making splashes the therapy world.

You can read more about both our stellar Clinical Interns in residence on their bio pages at: [www.redfishcounseling.com/lexi] and [www.redfishcounseling.com/austin]

To connect and/or learn more, schedule a free phone screening at [www.redfishcounseling.com/new-clients] today!
