School Based Track
Our School Counseling and Intervention Program (SCIP) is designed to offer clinical experience working with children grades K-12 in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. The program is a 10-month commitment and offers approximately 10-12 clinical hours (2 school days) plus 5 hours of training and supervision per week.
Applicants should have a minimum of one year’s experience involving children and be able to work independently during the school day. The program begins in late August and ends in mid-June and includes a stipend to MFT Trainees and Doctoral Practicum students. This is a paid position for Registered Associate MFT/PCC’s and Registered Psychological Associates.
SCIP/Clinic Dual Track
Our dual track SCIP/Clinic program offers a combination of working 1 or 2 days in a school-based setting along with carrying a caseload of 5 clients in the clinic. This program is open only to individuals who have been with Discovery Counseling Center for a year in the SCIP program and Registered as an Associate with the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS), Board of Psychology and advanced level Doctoral Practicum students
At Discovery Counseling Center, we are committed to offering high quality training and supervision that secures the next generation of successful therapists.
“I have gotten so much out of my time at Discovery! The school placement has been very fulfilling and has taught me so much. The supervision has been awesome and the support incredible. I love the emphasis on a positive intern/staff community; I feel I can totally focus on my learning experience. The didactic training has been excellent as well. You can’t go wrong here!!”
