Fred Finch Youth Center.

In short

Does Fred Finch publish a clinical training program?

No - its Training Institute is licensed-clinician CE, not a licensure track

Serving youth and families since 1891

Oakland · Alameda County — 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 isWhat its site publishesThe questions to bringSources

What it is

The organization, from its own site.

Serving youth and families since 1891: mental health services, residential programs, housing, Enhanced Care Management, young-adult services, school services and the Rising Harte Wellness Center. Joint Commission accredited.

Its site: fredfinch.org.

What its site publishes about training

What was found, and what was not.

Its “Training Institute” is easy to misread from the name: the page describes a free, Title IV-E-funded continuing-education institute offering CE hours to already-licensed LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs and LEPs — not a practicum or associate track. No pre-licensed clinical training page was found.

Where a question about roles belongs: its careers page.

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

This profile records what the organization’s own site published on the read date, and nothing else. It is not a statement about today, it is not an endorsement, and it is not legal advice. Sites change; the links above are where to check.

Figures checked, narrative not re-read

The numbers are current. The argument around them has not been reviewed since it was written.

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.
