California · statewide · pre-licensed employers
The employers that say, in writing, they take pre-licensed clinicians
Two hundred California mental-health employer sites were read on one day — 16 August 2026 — for a single sentence: does this organization’s own site state that it employs or trains pre-licensed clinicians, with supervision toward the 3,000 hours? Sixty-one do, and every row below links the page that says so. This is a directory of published statements, not of openings; no register of openings exists.
Start with the answer →What this is, and is not
Each organization below was checked the same way on the same day: its home page and its careers or training pages, read for an explicit statement that it employs or trains pre-licensed clinicians — AMFTs, ACSWs, APCCs, registered associates, or clinical trainees banking supervised hours. A row here means the statement exists at the linked page as of 16 August 2026, quoted or closely paraphrased. It does not mean a vacancy exists today, and it is not an endorsement. Before applying anywhere, run the offer against which settings can legally bill for a pre-licensed clinician and the supervision floor on the 3,000-hours page.

The disclosure gap
Another 124 employer sites were reachable on the same read and said nothing findable about pre-licensed roles on their public pages, and 13 could not be reached at all. That is a statement about disclosure, not about hiring practice — community agencies routinely employ associates without saying so online. It does mean your application there starts as a cold ask rather than a response to a published program, and it is why this page prints only what can be pointed at.
For the nine Bay counties, two companion directories go further: every setting the code allows, and the agencies with full training programs in writing.

Every row links the organization page the statement was read from, all on 16 August 2026. Employer pages change without notice — the linked page is the authority, not this summary. Reachability detail for the full 232-lead set is preserved in the site’s research files. This is not an endorsement of any employer and says nothing about current vacancies.
