Practicum Students and Internships for Doctoral Students

Practicum: The Center offers half-time practicum level experience in the adult track or the school based adolescent track. The practicum is a one-year commitment with 18 hours per week required. Practicum students wishing to apply to work with adults should call the front desk (310) 271-9999 x 0 to be transferred to an information line regarding the application procedure. Those wishing to work with adolescents in the school based counseling program should call Dr. Susan Spiegel at (310) 271-9999 x239.

Pre doctoral Internships: Full (35+ hrs) and half-time (20+ hrs) internships are available and open to students having completed a practicum experience. There is a one-year commitment for full time status and a two year commitment for half time status.

The Center is a member of APPIC and meets its training standards, abides by its policies, and participates in the national match. APPIC applications are due by December 10, for internships beginning the following fall. Please contact APPIC through their WEBSITE for information, application forms, and procedures. Applications are reviewed and The Center calls those students which we wish to interview. Dr. Rose (310) 271-9999 x214 is the contact person at the Center.

The Center is also a member of CAPIC. While The Center usually fills all internship openings through the APPIC national matching service, we occasionally have unfilled positions. When this happens, we will accept CAPIC applications.

Doctoral interns desiring to work primarily with adults should call Dr. Lorraine Rose at (310) 271-9999 x214 to schedule an interview.

Those wishing to apply to the Mindful Parenting track should call Dr. Jessica Herzog at (310) 271-9999 x241.

Post-Doctoral Internships: As a general rule, we only accept post doctoral students who have completed either a practicum experience or pre doctoral internship at our Center.
