Access for Therapists

A practical and achievable way to strengthen the mental-health workforce.

Connecting licensed providers, emerging clinicians, and universities through a reciprocal model that supports care, learning, and long-term workforce stability for public benefit.

OUR PURPOSE

Access for Therapists (AFT) creates a sustainable structure that connects licensed providers, emerging clinicians, and universities through defined, mutually-beneficial participation.

We organize short-term, no-cost therapy for emerging clinicians that count towards professional development hours (PDH) for licensed clinicians. Each group receives clear benefits, while keeping administrative demands low.

As partnerships expand, AFT gathers operational insights that help refine the model and inform workforce and university systems over time.
