Important information about our office
As you will see when reading about our therapists, many do not accept insurance. In order to remedy this, Total Life Counseling has established a discounted rate for treatment. Our office provides access to the highest quality of therapy for less than traditional fees. Each of our therapists have been hand picked and brought in because of their passion for the therapeutic process. We love each of the counselors in our office and feel confident that you will too.
Each of our therapists falls under one of the following titles:
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) - A licensed professional counselor has met all state requirements for licensure and has provided a minimum of 3200 hours of therapy post graduate. This is one of the highest credentials offered in the state of Arizona for private therapists.
Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) - A licensed associate counselor has met all state requirements for licensure including all education requirements (Masters Degree) and supervised internships. Associate counselors have passed all required state and national exams. Most associate counselors are working on the 3200 hours of therapy for advanced licensure.
Behavioral Health Paraprofessional (BHPP) - A Paraprofessional is a Master's level therapist who has met all educational requirements for the state of Arizona. However, these therapists are in the process of completing the required state and national exams for associate licensing. Paraprofessionals are supervised by licensed professionals. They are trained and authorized to do the same work as a licensed counselors while under this supervision.
Licensed Social Worker (LMSW) - A licensed Social Worker has met all state requirements for licensure and all education requirements for their Masters Degree in Social Work. It is important to point out that social workers can work as counselors, but counselors can not work as social workers. Most LMSW's are working towards their LCSW by completing 3200 hours of supervised therapy.
