LOW COST TherAPY
Our interns are able to offer low cost therapy on a sliding scale, or “as needed” basis. This allows folks to access therapists for up to one year at an affordable rate. Interns are carefully selected by practice owner, Nina Schmidbaur, LCSW, who provides weekly individual supervision. Interns also attend group supervision to enjoy a peer-learning experience. They are all in their last year of graduate school at UAlbany MSW program and about to enter the workforce as fully licensed therapists. Many of whom are in their second career.
Nina Schmidbaur, LCSW, practice owner, who is trained talk therapist with 10+ years of experience working with children, families, and adults. She is EMDR trained, Somatically trained, and offers play therapy and creative arts in her work.
