At Individual, Marriage, & Family Counseling, our therapists’ professional development is a priority.
We maintain our professional licenses and utilize the best practices in the field of counseling psychology.
All of our therapists participate in continuing education in various forms, including conference attendance, in-person training, webinars, lectures, readings, and retreats. We encourage each other to seek professional consultation when appropriate. As professionals in the field, we engage in larger conversations about the field of mental health in mid-Missouri, nationally, and internationally.
Meet Our Therapists
Our Growth
Because of the collaborative nature of our practice, our therapists and staff are dedicated to continued development and growth.
Our therapists make an effort to attend webinars, intensive training weekends, and externships. We listen to podcasts and read academic literature and books from authors we trust in the field.
Our learning is ongoing and shared among us, and we encourage each other to take advantage of the wealth of knowledge and understanding provided by organizations such as:
- American Counseling Association
- Association for Specialists in Group Work
- International Center for Excellence in Emotion-Focused Therapy
- National Association of Social Workers
- National Eating Disorder Association
We believe deeply in the concept of “self of therapist.”
This means we are committed to looking introspectively at ourselves, our relationships, and our reactions to the world around us. We value autonomy and are committed to each other, not just in our practice but to the field of counseling as a whole. We understand it to be our responsibility and privilege to uphold the ethical standards laid out for us as professionals. As we practice under these ethics as IMF Counseling, we contribute to the betterment of the mid-Missouri community of mental health professionals.
