What our practicum is

A year-long, supervised clinical training experience at our Pasadena outpatient practice. Trainees see real outpatient clients, in-person and via telehealth, and meet weekly for individual and group supervision with licensed psychologists and LMFTs on staff.

Our caseload reflects the practice: substantial work with LGBTQ+ clients, many adolescents and young adults, multilingual referrals, and a wide range of presenting concerns from anxiety and depression through trauma and relationship work.

What you'll learn

  • Outpatient case conceptualization grounded in EEAT-quality clinical reasoning, not template treatment plans
  • Affirming care with LGBTQ+ adolescents, adults, and families — including the systems work (school, family, insurance)
  • How to actually run group therapy without making it feel like extended individual therapy with witnesses
  • Documentation and risk management at a level that holds up in real clinical practice
  • Insurance, billing, and how the business of outpatient mental health works (since you'll be doing it)

What we look for

  • You're enrolled in an APA-accredited (or equivalent) doctoral program in clinical or counseling psychology
  • You can commit to 16–24 hours per week for the full training year
  • You're curious, not certain — we'd rather train someone who asks than someone who already knows
  • You can sit with discomfort. Not your client's. Yours.
