A Pre-Licensed Counselor is someone who has completed all of the graduate educational requirements for licensure, but is now accruing the time and experience required to be licensed.  A pre-licensed clinician meets weekly for supervision of their work in order to continue to hone their skills.  At Balanced Life Counseling, we are selective in who we bring on as a Pre-Licensed therapists, as they work closely with a clinical supervisor to ensure their professional development and the delivery of quality services. Some insurance do not reimburse for Pre-Licensed therapists services, so it is a good idea to speak with our administrative staff to determine whether a Pre-Licensed therapist is a good fit for you. Our private pay rates are significantly lower than our licensed therapist rates. Some people will choose to seek services with a Pre-Licensed therapist who does not accept their insurance because the session rate can be lower than their co-pays or deductibles.
