CCEC’s Clinical Training Program is laser-focused on developing clinicians for private practice. The program is specifically designed to optimize and nourish the critical path from textbook to trusted, competent, and confident therapist.

CCEC serves the general Santa Barbara community, providing mental wellness services to individuals, couples, kids, teens, and families. With long-term clients that cover a spectrum of ages, gender and gender expression, socioecomomic backgrounds, and presenting issues, clinicians of the Center bring the fullness of their academic education to life.

CCEC’s Clinical Staff is unwaveringly tuned to guiding professional flourishing. The Clinical Year operates on a trimester rotation to expose trainees and associates to different clinical perspectives under a united umbrella. Weekly trainings provide the most relevant techniques, frameworks, tools, and exposure to our area’s most skilled therapists. From Dream Work with David Richo to A Somatic Approach to Trauma with Shira Musicant to Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Shannon Kennedy, the training calendar is designed with full clinical development in mind.

The CCEC Clinical Training Program has served as a greenhouse and launchpad for hundreds of clinicians in private practice, many of whom cultivated their initial client base from their CCEC caseload. CCEC encourages long-term clinical relationships and taking bonded clients with you from your associate training into licensed practice.
