Verification of Psychotherapy – This form should be filled out after you complete your 50 hours of personal psychotherapy. It should be signed by your therapist and your therapist’s licensed supervisor (if applicable).
External Field Placement Application (In State) – If the traineeship site has not previously hosted GGU student traineeships, you need to have the Clinical Director complete this form, sign it and return it to the Department Chair. From the information on the form, GGU will be able to confirm that the experience, training, and supervision offered by the site will meet California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) requirements. This form is intended for placements that are within the state of California.
External Field Placement Application (Out of State) – This form must be completed and signed by the traineeship site (fieldwork setting), your supervisor and you – then returned to the Department Chair for signature on behalf of GGU.
Supervised Fieldwork Agreement (In State) – This form must be completed and signed by the traineeship site (fieldwork setting), your supervisor and you – then returned to the Department Chair for signature on behalf of GGU.

Supervision Agreement – Your supervisor at the traineeship site must complete and sign this form. Be sure to insert your name in the first row of cells. Submit a copy of this form to the Department Chair within a week of the start of your traineeship and keep the original in a safe place. After graduation you’ll need to submit the original to BBS with your MFTI application.
Marriage and Family Therapist Weekly Summary of Hours and Experience – Use this form to log your weekly hours. Have your supervisor sign it each week. Keep the originals of these completed forms in a safe place. You’ll need to submit them to BBS with your licensure application.
The form can be found at: http://www.bbs.ca.gov/pdf/forms/mft/mfwkylog_37a-525_option1.pdf Note that there are two options for counting hours: the streamlined method and the pre-existing multiple category method. Because the second option is being phased out by the BBS, it is recommended that all students use the first option.
Traineeship Candidacy Form – Use this form to apply for Traineeship Candidacy status. You must have submitted this form and received consent of the Department Chair before applying for traineeships.
Practicum Registration Form – Use this form to register for Psych 394 the first term. For subsequent terms, send an e-mail to the Department Chair to request registration.
