Students at our Southern California campuses may apply for the unique opportunity to complete their required clinical training hours at our Irvine or Westwood counseling centers, two of the largest, most well-respected community counseling centers in Southern California.

In keeping with The Chicago School's mission to meet the needs of underserved populations, the centers provide a full range of high-quality psychological services to all members of the community, regardless of their ability to pay.

Under the supervision and mentorship of our licensed faculty, students assist with providing psychological assessments, individual therapy, couples counseling, group therapy, court-mandated substance abuse and domestic violence treatment programs, and more.

This innovative apprentice model enables students to: *Gain supervised, hands-on training experience while providing individual and group psychotherapy services as well as psycho-educational community programming, *Learn marketing and operations related to running a private practice and assist with building their own client case loads, and *Graduate with a thriving client base already established as they launch their careers as licensed practitioners.
