Current Students: To support your professional development as you learn to become an effective psychotherapist, a traineeship in a fieldwork setting is required during the second year of graduate study at Pacifica Graduate Institute. The traineeship becomes an integral part of the Clinical Practice sequence of courses and enrollment in Clinical Practice is contingent upon having an approved traineeship. Course lectures, experiential exercises, and assignments are grounded in the traineeship experience.
