OUR
TEAM
Clinicians and clients all have their own stories, strengths, and needs. The Fircrest Family is here to walk beside them all. Together we heal, learn, and thrive.
Our desire is to serve our clients and help them toward healing, learning skills, and thriving in their own lives and relationships. Our goal is to alleviate the potential for burnout, so that our clinicians can serve individuals and families more effectively. We do this by first empowering our clinicians to thrive in a community work environment of connectivity, mutual support, and education for healthy boundaries, business practices, and networking.
Why See an Intern?
Seeing an intern at a behavioral health clinic offers cost-effective, personalized care with fresh perspectives and cutting-edge techniques, all under the supervision of seasoned professionals. This approach not only ensures tailored, culturally competent treatment and continuity of care but also supports the growth of future therapists, making quality mental health care more accessible to all.
