WestCoast Children's Clinic.

What it is

The organization, from its own site.

Oakland children’s psychology clinic whose mission statement explicitly includes training “the next generation of mental health professionals”: assessment, therapy, care coordination, a 24/7 crisis hotline for foster youth, intensive services for commercially sexually exploited children, and young-adult wraparound for ages 16–24.

Its site: westcoastcc.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 internships page describes an eight-month compensated clinical training program for incoming second-year MSW or MFT students, running September to April with a week-long August pre-orientation; partner schools listed are CSU East Bay, Palo Alto University, SFSU, Smith, Saint Mary’s and UC Berkeley.

An Advanced Assessment Practicum for fourth-year doctoral students runs 20 hours a week with “2 hours of individual supervision each week, and… 1.5 hours of group supervision” plus two didactic hours, at a stipend of “$3,500 for the year.” The page that says so →

It also runs an APA-accredited doctoral internship. 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.
