Yes - a named Training Institute with MFT, PCC and MSW practicums and a doctoral internship dating to 1979

30+ programs across 130+ sites, in 30+ languages

San Francisco & Alameda counties — what the organization is, what its own site publishes about clinical training, and the questions to bring. Every fact below was read from a fetched page on the date above, and each one links the page it came from. Nothing here says what is available today — sites change; the organization answers that.

What it is

The organization, from its own site.

San Francisco community behavioral-health nonprofit — “30+ Programs | 130+ Sites” by its own count — across the Richmond District, Lower Pacific Heights, Dogpatch and the Tenderloin, plus Alameda County, with care offered in more than 30 languages. Clinical and counseling services, the Hire-Ability vocational program, peer services and prevention.

Its site: ramsinc.org.

What its site publishes about training

A program its own pages describe.

Each statement below is what the organization’s own site said on 23 August 2026, with the page it said it on. A program existing on a page is not a seat existing today — the page is where you check.

Its Training Institute page describes Social Work, MFT and PCC practicums — “systems oriented, Community Mental Health Practicums” — and an Outpatient Clinical Practicum open to psychology, social work and MFT students. The page that says so →

The same Institute houses the National Asian American Psychology Training Center doctoral internship, established 1979, which its site calls the first program in the USA focused on training psychologists expert in Asian-American communities. The page that says so →

Before you write to anyone

The three questions that protect your hours.

A trainee cannot count hours from a private practice or a professional corporation — § 4980.43.3 draws that line, and the trainee rules page walks all seven of the rules that decide whether a placement counts. A registered associate has a wider map; both start from the same three questions: who signs the supervision paperwork and on what schedule, which settings the hours would come from, and — for a trainee — whether your program’s site agreement exists yet, because § 4980.42 puts that agreement on your school, not on you.

The whole search method — whose job the search is, the order that saves cycles, and the paper trail to keep — is on the how-to-find-a-practicum-site page. This profile is one shelf of it; the full Bay Area shelves are the practicum-sites directory and the associate-employers directory.

Where every figure came from

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.
