COPE x UC Irvine Partnership
Cope x UC Irvine Partnership
Dear COPE Family,
When I first started COPE a few years ago, I knew that the clinicians in our practice would be able to provide excellent treatment, but I also, unfortunately, knew that not everyone could afford that treatment. This is now changing as a result of COPE’s recent partnership with UC Irvine.
Beginning in September, our licensed staff will be working with UC Irvine’s Clinical Psychology PhD program to become a practicum site for doctoral students. These students will be seeing patients in our practice under the supervision of myself and other providers at COPE. This partnership has many benefits. It allows us to be able to offer lower fee services and it allows our staff to stay involved in teaching and supervision, ensuring continued growth and connection with current clinical knowledge and literature.
Since the inception of COPE, my goal has been to offer our services at a fee that would be more accessible to a wider range of people. Although all our licensed clinicians slide their fees down for select patients, we have not been able to offer consistently low fees that we are able to offer with our new Psychology Externs. Fees will range from $40-100 based on availability and on a sliding scale.
The first cohort of externs will join us in mid-September and they will be supervised by our licensed staff ensuring the same quality of service is delivered at every financial ability.
If you or anyone you know is interested in receiving services by any of our providers at COPE, do not hesitate to reach out using our contact information below. For more information on the externs, keep scrolling.
Thank you all so much for all the support and love through the years.
