Aspiring Therapists Learn on the Ground at Casa Pacifica [VCStar.com]

 

Aided by a presidential initiative, the Casa Pacifica agency has doubled admissions to a program that prepares psychologists to work with abused, neglected and emotionally troubled youth.

Brian Bantel, 33, is a member of this year's class.

The intern from Arizona plans to specialize in the treatment of children who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect, a specialty of the Casa Pacifica Centers for Children & Families.

"I do best with a trauma population or a lot of conduct-related aggressive behaviors," Bantel said after a session last week with a 6-year-old boy at the agency's main campus in the Camarillo area.
