Patricia Dobratz, JD, LMFT, BC-TMH

I have demonstrated my dedication to the integrity of clinical best practices through my service and memberships.  For years I served on the conference committee for AAMFT Arizona Interest Network and in the role of Ombudsman.  In 2011 I was appointed to the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners Marriage and Family Therapy Credentialing Committee.  In addition, I have been appointed to serve on the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners as a Professional Member and have had the honor of being elected Chairperson by my colleagues in 2014 and 2020. 

​

What I am most proud of thus far in my professional journey are the opportunities I have had to train, mentor, and provide clinical supervision to others.  I have been registered as a qualified clinical supervisor in Arizona since 2011 and have provided clinical supervision to interns, associates, and independently licensed professionals in the private practice and community outpatient settings. 

I have also taught at several colleges and universities for undergraduate and graduate programs.  I have held leadership positions such as Clinical Supervisor, Director, and most recently, Vice President of Behavioral Health Services for an integrated healthcare company.  In each role, I have had the opportunity to develop training and professional development initiatives, refine policies and procedures, as well as oversee small and large teams of clinical therapists and supervisors. 

​

My training and experience uniquely situate me to assist therapists, supervisors, and organizations.  Thus, the creation of the Clinical Best Practice Institute!
