ABOUT THE PROGRAM In 1974, RAMS was founded as a grassroots response to the inequities in the U.S. mental/behavioral healthcare system. Initially supporting the needs of the mono/bilingual Asian-speaking population of the Richmond District through counseling, we have evolved over the decades to meet the changing needs and challenges of communities in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Today we continue to provide training and education for mental health professionals who desire to support those with the least resources and opportunities to achieve their highest potential, with a steadfast commitment to serving the underserved communities of cultural minorities, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning, asexual (LGBTQIA+) communities, people with disabilities, and the intersections within. The NAAPTC’s Doctoral Internship is an experience-based training program that provides socialization into the profession of psychology and development of generalist entry-level psychology practice skills: proficiency for the clinical assessment and conduct of psychotherapy (individual, family, group & couples) across the life span, with a variety of patient populations, and in a broad spectrum of clinical settings. The hallmark of our internship training is development of informed clinical sensitivity to diversity (particularly, in regard to Asian American and Russian-speaking minorities) and building a repertoire of assessment/ intervention skills applicable to a wide range of clients, including the more disturbed and chronically troubled patients.
