  • ELIGIBILITY

    Yes, applicants outside of California and from around the US are welcome to apply

    Associate Clinicians need their Clinical Supervisors to book the space if you plan to see therapy clients under their license there.

    Active or former therapy clients won’t be able to book the suite to avoid a dual role, as mandated by clinical codes of law and ethics around therapeutic client relationships.
