The Associate Therapist Program is a mutually beneficial program that helps our uninsured or under-insured guests receive the high standard of care, counseling and therapy we provide at The Arizona Relationship Institute, while also helping student-therapists gain clinical experience. 

Associate Therapists

Associate Therapists are Expertly Trained by Licensed Therapists

Associates receive training from and collaborate with each of our licensed therapists for the first three months of their internships. Not only do our Associate Therapists receive training and supervision in our office, but they are also receiving continuous training from their school program for case conceptualization and advanced skill-building.

Supporting Education of Future Professionals

Here at AZRI, we encourage our Associate Therapists to further develop their clinical skills by attending an additional externship in Emotion-Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) during the first part of their internship. EFT is an evidence-based theoretical model that allows couples to learn how to communicate, recover from infidelity, and restore partnerships that lead to rebuilding love and trust. As our Associate applies EFT to individuals and couples, each client receives the highest quality of services through their supervisor’s directives.
