An Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) is a professional who is on the path to becoming a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). In the state of California, after obtaining a Masters degree in Marriage & Family Therapy, the Associate operates under the supervision of a licensed professional who they meet with weekly, while they accumulate 3,000 hours of clinical experience.

These hours include working directly with clients and tending to clinical tasks such as reserach, trainings, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. These hours are crucial for gaining practical, hands-on experience in the field.

Telehealth virtual therapy, also called online therapy or teletherapy, refers to a mental health treatment session conducted remotely using video conferencing or phone calls, allowing patients to connect with a therapist from their own location instead of traveling to an office, typically through a computer or mobile app; essentially, it's therapy delivered via technology rather than in person.

I am a Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist who has over 3,500 hours of direct clinical experience, training, client advocacy and supervision. I am currently preparing for my licensure exams in the state of California.

My California registration number is AMFT 129203 and I currently work under the license and supervision of Elysha Martinez, LMFT 93493, Executive Director of axismunditherapy.org 

Therapy is expensive, and often inaccessible for many people, especially marginalized communities who may need it most. And it can feel really defeating and angering to reach out for help in a time of need and be met with inaccessible fees. Money shouldn’t stand in the way of anyone receiving mental health support.

At this time, to help offset this challenge, I do reserve space in my practice for lower fee/sliding scale clients and accept payment vouchers from specific community organizations like the Loveland Foundation.

My rates range from:

$190-225 for individual sessions

$225-250 for couples

Before beginning work together, we collaborate on a thorough financial assessment to determine what rate is equitable, sustainable and appropriate based on diverse factors.

If you would like to work together and these rates don’t feel accessible, please don’t hesitate to reach out and share your financial needs.
