Mission Statement
CIP's first mission is to provide quality mental health counseling services to low-income individuals and families in Marin so that they may re-establish mental and emotional well-being and live satisfying and productive lives. CIP offers short- and long-term outpatient psychotherapy on a sliding scale fee basis to adults, children, families, and couples who would otherwise be unable to afford such services.
CIP's second mission is to provide a rigorous training program for 20-24 interns in psychotherapy who are currently in post-graduate (Masters and Doctoral) programs. Each intern receives more than 350 hours of training and supervision each year, including individual supervision, group supervision, and training seminars. CIP is a CAPIC (California Psychological Internship Council) approved two-year site.
Description
What We Do:
Unlike a crisis center, CIP provides ongoing, long- and short-term counseling. Our therapists help individuals heal from trauma and overcome problems. We help families create caring, nurturing homes and prevent child abuse and neglect. Clients receive support to set and achieve personal goals, to return to school, find a job, or build better relationships that foster self-sufficiency and self-esteem in order to live happier, more fulfilling lives.
Services are provided by 20-24 qualified intern-therapists and 12 licensed therapists.
