Meet Our Clinical Team
Licensed Clinicians (LPC)
Independently licensed clinicians who have completed their graduate education and accumulated the required supervised hours to get there (the two levels below for each discipline). Their full licensure allows us to serve clients utilizing Medicaid and insurance plans not accessible to supervised clinicians
Chemical Dependency Counselors (LCDC):
Specialize in addressing addiction and substance use treatments. They hold at least an associates degree and have completed a post-graduation internship to practice independently. LCDCs are essential to serving the complex needs of young people with more substantial substance use challenges. Their targeted approach to addiction treatment complements and strengthens our broader counseling services.
Graduate Interns:
Are supervised graduate-level students at the end of their masters degree program, completing their required practicum or internship hours to work towards licensing. Counseling students are able to offer the most affordable rates for low income and non-insured clients who would likely struggle to receive services otherwise.
Our clinical team brings together Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors (LCDCs) with experience supporting youth, young adults, adults, and families. Our primary focus is substance use counseling, anger management, healthy decision-making, behavioral support, and the challenges that can interfere with school, work, relationships, and future goals.
Each clinician provides services within their professional license, training, and scope of practice, allowing EdYouth Foundation to offer coordinated, evidence-informed support based on each client's individual needs. Our team is committed to helping clients strengthen coping and communication skills, manage anger and behavioral concerns, address substance use, increase personal accountability, and make healthier choices that support long-term stability and success.

We provide a supportive environment where youth, young adults, adults, and families can address concerns related to substance use, anger, behavioral challenges, decision-making, relationships, and personal well-being.
The process begins with an initial intake to better understand the individual's concerns, strengths, circumstances, and goals. Based on those needs, the appropriate licensed professional will work with the client to develop an individualized plan focused on healthier choices, coping and communication skills, emotional regulation, personal accountability, and positive behavioral change.
