Couples therapy internship and supplemental practicum for pre-licensed therapists

The San Francisco Marriage and Couples Center was founded in 2013. Our organization provides the highest quality of professional health care services with an emphasis and focus on patient care. We strongly believe this same quality of care should be accessible to all people- regardless of race, gender, and class backgrounds.

The Center provides a various range of services including couples counseling, family therapy, and individual psychotherapy for clients in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. We concentrate on the treatment of couples and individuals that have trauma, relationship issues, mood and emotional conditions in their history.

In 2015, we started a non paid two-year teaching and supervision program for associates to learn how to work with couples. In 2016, The program was changed to a paid internship in 2016 in order to help associates with the high cost of the Bay Area.

In 2021, due to significant interest, we added a supplemental practicum program for PsyD students who were interested in learning couple therapy.

The internship and supplemental practicum program was created for PsyD students and Master’s level associates to learn theory or approaches to working with couples while simultaneously gaining hours and experience. We provide administrative support, marketing, referrals, website presence, community, quarterly trainings, weekly group supervision, and individual supervision for associates who have more than 10 clients.
