Who We Are

          We come from diverse traditions.  One therapist was ordained after typical seminary training and now pastors a congregation.  One therapist served as clerk (head) of her Quaker meeting.  Each has completed the psychoanalytic training program at Blanton-Peale Graduate Institute in New York City and is licensed in New York as a psychoanalyst.  Each has undergone his or her own psychoanalysis and has been extensively supervised in the practice of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.  

          As independent practitioners who conduct psychotherapy as a ministry and professional service to persons of all religious faiths and backgrounds, we are dedicated to navigating the challenging and often painful process of human growth with those we serve.
