Essential Requirements
We welcome graduates from accredited Counseling Psychology or related master’s programs, as well as associates (APCC, AMFT, ACSW) in good standing with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Licensure-track master’s students graduating this spring are encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates are characterized by their thoughtfulness, compassion, openness, and willingness to learn and grow. They excel both independently and collaboratively, demonstrating a strong work ethic, professionalism, attention to detail, and organizational skills. Committed to their own self-care, well-being, and work-life balance, they actively contribute to fostering a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for clients and colleagues alike. Motivated to thrive in private practice, they aim to build and maintain a caseload of at least 12-15 client hours per week.
