About Us

The National Institute for the Psychotherapies Training Institute is dedicated to providing psychoanalytic training for clinicians and comprehensive treatment for the community. Located in Columbus Circle in New York City, NIP TI was chartered by the New York State Department of Education in 1972 as a non-profit educational facility. Through a wide range of training programs, NIP TI provides psychoanalytic training to post graduate, licensed mental health professionals in an atmosphere of academic excellence. Our training programs are dedicated to enhancing the clinical skills and personal development of our candidates within a supportive professional community. NIP TI's Treatment Center offers individualized treatment, on an affordable basis, that draws from a full range of psychotherapeutic and counseling services.

About Our Training Programs

NIP TI's Adult Training Program offers a four year postgraduate training for certified disciplines including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and mental health nurses. The core of the program includes didactic and clinical courses in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy along with supervised treatment experience. Our theoretical orientation includes an intensive comparative study of psychoanalytic theory and technique. Grounded in classical theory, our orientation emphasizes recent advances in relational theory including object relations, self-psychology, developmental theory and interpersonal psychoanalysis. Candidates in the Adult Program are required to undergo psychoanalytic treatment for a minimun of two times a week. NIP TI also offers a One Year Evening Program, a Child and Adolescent Program, a Distance Learning Program, a Supervisory Training Program and Internship/Externship Programs.

About Our Clinic: Help For A Variety Of Problems

Counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, psychological evaluation, and neuro-psychological testing are services performed by therapists in our graduate and post-graduate training program. These therapists are credentialed in their respective fields and are working under the supervision of experienced psychoanalytic supervisors.

NIP TI offers treatment to the community in both our Adult and our Child & Adolescent Treatment Centers located in mid-town Manhattan. All fees are set on a sliding scale basis. NIP TI patients seek help with a variety of problems including: anxiety, depression, relationship problems, problems stemming from drug abuse in their families, feelings of low self esteem, developmental delays, addiction problems, problems with authority and general feelings of dissatisfaction in their lives.

A Collaborative Process Between You And Your Therapist

At NIP TI, therapy relies on a collaborative inquiry into specific problems that may be interfering with the person's private or social life. In the Child and Adolescent Treatment Center we believe that parents are an essential part of the therapeutic process and when indicated conjoint meetings with various family members are arranged.

We Use A Treatment Approach That Is Effective For You

Many kinds of problems can be treated and significant personality changes can occur. Long-standing personality patterns, conflicts and anxiety can often be treated effectively in psychotherapy. However, when appropriate, the treatment of choice for some problems may be psychoanalysis. In psychoanalysis, in contrast to psychotherapy the patient and therapist meet three times per week allowing for a deeper exploration of the root causes of the problem and the possibility of a more extensive examination of the patient's life.

Special Services

Although most patients' issues can be addressed in individual psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, NIP TI recognizes that certain issues are better addressed by other methods of treatment. NIP TI, therefore, also offers special services such as Recovery, Hypnotherapy and Career Development. An initial evaluation consultation can be arranged within 48 hours of the patient's phone call. During this first meeting, the patient (and/or guardian for children and adolescents) and the consulting therapist will determine the patients needs and how to best meet them.

An Equal Opportunity Organization

NIP TI is an equal opportunity organization. The Institute admits students of any age, race, color, sex, sexual orientation, physical disability, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the Institute.
