History
Encouragers was founded by Vicki Coffman, LMFT, President, and CEO. Vicki recognized that the field of Mental Health has not been universally helpful to pre-licensed clinicians who have a passion to help others, and because of the limited supervisors available, nearly 1/2 of all Master's graduates in the psychology fields never go on to get their license. Vicki brings together pre-licensed clinicians (Students and Interns) and offers them Free supervision and training while they are providing low cost/no cost (based on need) counseling services to the communities we serve. It's a WIN-WIN for everyone!
