The hiring process at CPLA started earlier this year and we are filling up quickly, but we would love to meet with everyone who is interested in working at our organization! In order for us to set up an interview with you please send in all the required materials to apply@counselingpartnersofla.org. You can find the list of required materials under the 'Train with CPLA' tab.

As a low-cost provider of mental health services, we are designed as a group supervision model. At this time, we have filled our (limited number of ) positions for candidates whose university requirements include individual/triadic supervision.  As such, if you are applying, please know we will only be able to offer you group clinical supervisions. 

We look forward to meeting with each and every one of you. In these uncertain times, we at CPLA look at all the positives and we feel so blessed to have the chance to meet people who share our passion for helping at-risk children in a clinical setting. 

​I came to CPLA to help students achieve mental health at a time in their lives I would have liked to received help. I love working for CPLA because it gives me the opportunity to help students thrive.
I am passionate about helping sexual abuse survivors, helping single mothers, and acheiving racial justice. My hobbies have been ballroom dancing, martial arts, and road biking. I also volunteer as a marriage and family therapist trainee at Living Success Center - San Gabriel Valley, do business consulting, am a licensed certified public accountant, am a full-time graduate student, and am a full-time mom. In 10 years, I see myself working for my own organization so I can personally enact changes in the mental health industry that dismantle systemic barriers that are preventing people in non-dominant groups from becoming mental health clinicians. I hope to change the world by helping my clients be more of who they would like to be and by mentoring other people to help them become skilled clinicians.

The school year has begun at all of our partner schools which means that our 72 counselors are hard at work via Telehealth. CPLA is proud of all of our counselors who were able to switch over to Telehealth at the end of the last academic year, and are confident in the continuing success that our counselors will have again this year.  
​
We have filled almost all of our counselor positions for January 2021, so we may not have a position to start at that time that works for your schedule.  But will be looking for many compassionate and committed clincians to start with us come August.  If you are interested in joining the CPLA Team, please apply by checking out our page www.counselingpartnersofla.org/train-with-cpla.html. The interview process will start in February, so make sure you submit your applications before then! We need fantastic people to join our team, we hope you are one of them! 

In the past couple weeks, the CPLA counselors have been hard at work attending faculty meetings and emerging themselves in their schools. Although they are not in-person, they are able to connect with the principals and staff via Zoom. All of us at CPLA are so excited that we are going into this school year with all of these amazing counselors and are looking forward to seeing their achievements throughout the year!

COVID-19 created havoc for our student clients and school communities. For many, there was uncertainty of not only meals and education, but continued mental health services. Following the direction of our school partners, CPLA transitioned to a telehealth model of providing services to all our school partners in just one week. 

We are beyond grateful for the incredible work that our 72 counselors have been able to provide during this difficult time. We are happy to report that each of our counselors has been able to stay on board with us, provide essential love and care to our students, and continue working towards their goal of being Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists.
