Christian Family Care’s child and family counselors are all Masters-level therapists, many of whom are Arizona Licensed Professional Counselors or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists. Children’s therapists are supervised by a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. In addition to extensive training, they bring practical life experience to their work as former school teachers, school counselors, social workers, foster and adoptive parents. In addition we have an internship program for master level students and graduates.
