What Is Therapy with a Graduate Student Therapist?

At Keystone Therapy Group, our graduate student therapists are dedicated therapists currently at the end of their master’s program and are in their clinical practicum or internship while working closely with our experienced supervisors to ensure you receive top-notch care.
