Each student therapist experiences a variety of client types, client problems and therapeutic approaches. Work as a sole therapist and as co-therapist is included. Approximately 500 hours applicable to the California licensing requirement will be obtained. Over the years graduates of the program have an outstanding record of successful practices in both private and institutional fields. A maximum of 20 students are accepted each year with entrance in the fall semester.
Classes are intentionally small, allowing good faculty-student interaction and personal attention.
This also enables students to form mutual support groups that significantly enhance personal growth and learning. The three-year schedule is recommended for students with demanding work or personal responsibilities. Each class is offered once a year. Students attend classes during the fall and spring semesters and also in summer terms. Classes are scheduled in the evening and on Saturday mornings.
