PhD in Clinical Psychology

A Message from our DCT Office

Dear Future Psychologists,

Welcome to Palo Alto University! 

We are so excited that you will be joining us in the PhD program this fall. We are extremely proud of our program, of our research and clinical training, and of the students, faculty, and staff who work together to accomplish our mission to engage minds and improve lives. We are training the next generation of clinical psychologists, and we take this task very seriously.

This website is designed to be a one-stop shop for you to access the departments and information that you will need to prepare for your start in September. I am the Director of Clinical Training (DCT) for the PhD program, and look forward to meeting you in the fall. Please get in touch with me or the rest of the DCT team with questions as you prepare to begin your graduate school career.

We look forward to seeing you this fall!
