Program Overview

AQAL Therapies’ residency program supports associate practitioners (LMHC-A, LMFT-A) in building the skills, experience, and business acumen needed to succeed as ACT practitioners and private practice owners.

Modeled after medical residencies, the program offers a clear pathway from foundational training to advanced expertise. Participants receive comprehensive training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relational Frame Theory (RFT), and Functional Contextualism (FC), equipping them to deliver impactful therapy and foster meaningful community connections.

This collaborative residency meets and exceeds the supervisory requirement, combining rigorous clinical training with practical business education, equipping participants to manage private practice operations and support clients in achieving psychological flexibility and meaningful change.​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​Fair Compensation

​

​The program also places great emphasis on providing structured supervision, training, and practical experience while ensuring fair compensation. Unlike traditional agency roles, where clinicians often forfeit up to 65% of their earnings, this residency empowers participants to retain more income, promoting financial stability and professional autonomy.

​

The AQAL Therapies Residency Program is designed to support your growth while being financially manageable providing potential to keep 70% of revenue generated. Here’s an example:

• Say you see 10 clients/week, at $100/session. You generate about $1,000/week $4,300/month.

• From this, approximately 30% is deducted for supervision and business expenses leaving you with $2,840 for the month, or about $34,080 per year.

• If you were to double your hours to 20 clients per week, your annual income would double as well, reaching approximately $68,000.
