1 Family members and partners of youth cannot receive individual counseling, but can be a part of family and/or couples’ therapy that includes a youth who is currently involved in Out Youth.
2 Youth therapy clients meet with a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW), a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern (LPC-I), or a Social Work Intern. All interns are in graduate school working toward Master’s Degrees in Social Work or Professional Counseling and receive ongoing clinical supervision to ensure that youth receive high-quality therapeutic services.
