The Hosford Counseling & Psychological Services Clinic is a university-based community clinic, focused on cognitive behavioral therapy, that is designed to provide culturally sensitive, low-cost individual, couple, family, and group psychological treatment to the entire Santa Barbara community. We serve the general public as well as students, faculty and staff from our university and area colleges. The Hosford Clinic serves as a training site for graduate students in the Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology (CCSP) of the University of California, Santa Barbara; and as a clinical-research facility for the faculty and students of the CCSP Department. We also strive to provide educational, consultation, and training services to professional and paraprofessional clinicians and educators in the tri-counties.
