UW GROWS for Provisionally Licensed Therapists

Urban Wellness® provides inclusive, culturally responsive care grounded in social justice and
anti-racism-creating a safe space where every voice is valued.

UWGrows is a supportive pathway for LPCs and LSWs, designed to help new clinicians grow with confidence from day one until full licensure.

It strengthens your ability to support clients, build meaningful therapeutic relationships, and navigate early career challenges. Grounded in anti-racist, anti-oppressive values, the program focuses on both personal and professional development.

It can be intimidating to be a new therapist. UWGrows fosters confidence in your ability to support clients effectively. You will develop a deeper understanding of your own strengths, limitations, and biases, and how self-awareness can support your growth as a clinician. We also know that counseling can be emotionally demanding. New counselors will learn how to cope with the emotional challenges you may encounter in the work, and strategies for reducing the risk of burnout and maintaining your overall well-being.

Becoming a skilled clinician does not happen on your own. Collective wisdom and learning in community are invaluable resources as you grow into your role. UWGrows includes weekly group professional development sessions with your peers. Topics include transitioning to a group practice, risk assessment, ethical dilemmas, building rapport, setting boundaries, and therapist self care, to name a few. These sessions provide opportunities to build relationships with peers who are in the same career stage, share wins and challenges, and learn from experienced professionals.

We know that as a new graduate, you still have some learning to do. Provisionally Licensed Clinicians receive weekly supervision and feedback from experienced Senior Clinicians as you build the necessary skills to excel in your role. You will discuss therapeutic techniques and interventions, process challenging clinical situations, and access support in developing treatment plans. This is a relationship that provides you with the mentoring and support you need to cultivate independence as a clinician.
