Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP)
Founded in 1971, The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) is one of the oldest and largest not-for-profit mental health training and treatment facilities in New York City.
The Institute is composed of a group of over 200 therapists. Most of our therapists have training in psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy through one of ICP’s training programs or an equivalent – some are currently in such training. Many of our therapists have completed their graduate degrees and are licensed while others are earning those degrees or are completing licensing requirements. With the exception of a small number of senior therapists, all clinical work is performed under the supervision of a licensed and experienced professional supervisor.
ICP offers a full range of psychotherapeutic services, including individual and group psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis in addition to more specialized treatment services. ICP is dedicated to providing high quality therapy at low to moderate cost, offering post-graduate training for therapists, and educating the public about mental health issues.
Services Offered
Adult Treatment
The Adult Treatment Service offers individual psychotherapy (1-2 times weekly), or intensive psychoanalytic treatment (3-5 times weekly); and referral for supportive psychiatric medication treatment when needed as an adjunct to psychotherapy. Therapy may help with a range of problems-in-living that affect the way we think and feel. These include symptoms of anxiety, indecisiveness, guilt and shame; depression and low self-esteem; effects of abuse; flashback memories; and distress in work and relationships. Our therapists appreciate the uniqueness of each person’s life experience and cultural background. Our patients come from a range of ethnic, economic and work backgrounds.
Child and Adolescent Treatment
Child and Adolescent Treatment Services (CATS) is a division of the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP). ICP is dedicated to providing high quality therapy at low to moderate cost, offering post-graduate training for therapists, and educating the public about mental health issues. CATS is committed to fostering the healthy emotional development of children and adolescents. Our main function is to provide individual psychotherapy to children and adolescents. We regard the child as part of a family and a community and believe that there is no single treatment that is best for all children and their families.
Eating Disorder
The Center for the Study of Anorexia and Bulimia was established as a division of the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in 1979 and is the oldest non-profit eating disorders clinic in New York City. Using an eclectic approach, the professional staff and affiliates are on the cutting edge of treatment in their field. The treatment staff includes social workers, psychologists, registered nurses and nutritionists, all with special training in the treatment of eating disorders.
