ICP Counseling Centers
Our Three Counseling Centers
CIIS Counseling Centers have been offering mind-body-spirit psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families in the Bay Area for more than 25 years, providing a safe and supportive setting in which clients can explore a wide range of life issues— emotional, interpersonal, psychological, and spiritual.
Roughly 50% of ICP students complete their practica at the ICCs. While the ICCs are geared towards a private practice model and offer training in depth psychotherapy, some students may be more drawn to a variety of other practica formats. These include schools, hospitals, hospice, community mental health, child/family, etc. Students may also be more drawn to working with a particular population or in a particular location that the ICCs do not serve, or to learning a theoretical orientation not taught at the ICCs. In addition to the ICCs, we encourage our students to apply to other Bay Area clinics for their practica. The CIIS Field Placement Office and the ICP Advising and Supervision Coordinator offer support for finding and securing placements that match students' interests.
Named “Best of the Bay 2008” by the San Francisco Bay Guardian, CIIS Counseling Centers are conveniently located throughout San Francisco, and are staffed by graduate students and postgraduate interns.
Our therapists are well trained in a variety of therapeutic orientations: somatic, transpersonal, psychodynamic, and Gestalt, as well as more conventional modes of psychotherapy.
Because our therapists integrate Western psychology with knowledge from the world’s spiritual traditions, the counseling provided in our centers is unique and respects the specific growth and healing process of each individual.
CIIS has a total of five counseling centers. Three are affiliated with the Integral Counseling Psychology program while the other two are affiliated with the Somatic Psychology program and the Clinical Psychology Doctoral program.
