Sentio University Alumni Directory: Find a Sentio-Trained Therapist

Sentio University graduates are among the most rigorously trained Marriage and Family Therapists in the country. Every therapist listed below completed Sentio's Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy, a program built entirely around Deliberate Practice, the gold standard methodology for developing clinical expertise.

Applied to psychotherapy, Deliberate Practice means Sentio graduates have not simply studied therapy in a classroom. They have practiced specific clinical skills repeatedly under expert supervision, reviewed video of their own sessions to identify growth edges, and systematically improved their ability to respond effectively to clients in the room. This translates directly into stronger therapeutic outcomes for the people they serve.

What Sets Sentio-Trained Therapists Apart

Students who choose Sentio are seeking the most demanding clinical training available. Every Sentio graduate has:

  • 400+ hours of direct client contact across a broad range of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship conflict, family systems issues, grief, life transitions, and more
  • Intensive video-based supervision using review of actual therapy sessions, a level of training rigor that most MFT programs do not offer
  • Twice the supervision hours required by other graduate programs, meaning every therapist below has been observed, coached, and refined through hundreds of hours of expert feedback on their real clinical work
  • Deliberate Practice training throughout, the same science-backed methodology used to develop expertise in surgery, aviation, and elite athletics
