CSPP Alumni

The California School of Professional Psychology has over 7500 alumni. Almost half of the practicing psychologists in California are CSPP graduates. When students graduate from a CSPP program, they become a part of this large network within the professional community.

CSPP alumni include both the famous and those whose good works should make them far better known. The names below and the links at the top of this page will take you to individual profiles and interviews with a sample of the many alumni who bring pride to our institution.

CSPP alumni also take advantage of benefits through the Alumni Association, such as discounts on Alliant Continuing Education workshops, Alliant library privileges and discounted travel packages and club memberships.
