We know that accessing therapy can be a significant financial investment. Our low-cost therapy option was created to make specialized care more accessible while also supporting the growth and training of emerging clinicians in the eating disorder field. At The Balanced Practice, Low-cost therapy is provided by student therapists completing their practicum placement under the supervision of Monique Robinson, an experienced Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor who specializes in eating disorder care.
Student therapists are therapists-in-training who have completed their master’s-level coursework and are now completing their clinical practicum placement. This practicum is where they begin providing therapy under the supervision and guidance of an experienced clinician. When you work with a student therapist, you are receiving care from someone who is actively developing their clinical skills while being closely supported through regular supervision, consultation, and oversight. This means your care is not happening in isolation. Your student therapist is part of The Balanced Practice team and receives ongoing support to ensure your therapy is thoughtful, ethical, collaborative, and aligned with our approach to eating disorder and mental health care.
