Because of the expertise of our supervisory staff and the cultural and linguistic needs of many of our clients, the Center is able to offer unique training experiences for English/Spanish bilingual students who wish to enhance or refine their skills in providing services to Spanish-speaking families.

NOTE TO INDIVIDUALS SEEKING MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPY (MFT) INTERNSHIPS AND TRAINEESHIPS:

The Center does not offer a formal MFT internship program.  MFTIs are considered to be entry-level staff and they receive the required hours of supervision in preparation for licensure.  If you are seeking an MFT internship, please return to the opening page of the Website and click on “Careers” for a list of current openings and application procedures.  The North Hills location does offer training to MFT trainees in the Psychology practicum placements.
