The LAUNCH program at Great Oaks aims to develop, prepare, and equip graduate student interns, pre-licensed therapists, and even licensed therapists to enter the private practice world healthy, competent, and creative in three main areas: professional, clinical, and personal.
Launch

professional

development

Participants engage in a variety of concepts, practices, and strategies to help them identify, think through, and develop skills necessary to become professionally successful and prepared for the business side of private practice

Participants learn to think clinically through the lens of one theory at a time to become competent in that theory, learning to balance use of theory with the therapeutic relationship.

​

clinical

development

Participants learn how to bring  an integration of self into the therapy room so that they can learn how to best make use of their own woundedness and humanity in a way that is an asset to the therapeutic process.

personal

development
