CLINICAL TRAINING

CIFC offers clinical training programs for MFT Trainees and Interns. The program requires a 15-month commitment and weekly group supervision by a licensed therapist. We offer weekday and weekend programs, with flexible hours in order to accommodate the busy schedules of students, work and family commitments. CIFC provides a nurturing, professional learning environment in order to ensure a successful career as a psychotherapist.

CIFC has been affiliated with accredited psychology programs from schools such as Phillips Graduate Institute, Antioch University, CSUN, Cal State Los Angeles, Cal State Fullerton, University of Phoenix, USC and Pacific Oaks, just to name a few. We work closely with these schools to place qualified students in programs to develop their clinical skills.
