What the evidence supports

What the training contains

The academic-year sequence uses six Saturday–Sunday weekends. GATLA describes theory, demonstrations, personal work, supervised practice, and separate introductory, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Residential terminology

The separate summer residential lists Clinical Practicum and Senior Practicum groups. Those are internal advanced-training levels, not a California BBS graduate MFT practicum.

For MFT students and associates

This may supplement a qualifying degree or supervised employment, but the reviewed pages do not establish a degree, field-placement site, employer, wage, caseload, or AMFT opening.

What this does not establish

This page does not treat modality training as a qualifying MFT degree, school-approved field placement, BBS registration, supervised job, or promise of admission. Compensation, benefits, supervision payment, caseload, and openings remain “not stated” unless a source explicitly publishes them.

You should not have to work this part out on your own.

Once a month: free tools and apps worth having, better ways to run the admin side of a practice, what other California therapists are actually doing, and anything new here that might save you an afternoon.

About monthly. One click to leave. Never sold, never shared. The consent box is separate and unticked because California requires it — and because it should be.
