Testimonials
Reflections from our students and graduates
"I highly recommend the Program. The classes provide an optimal balance between an exposure to current theoretical developments (in both psychoanalytic thinking and neuroscience) and the application to clinical work with patients. The course has changed the way I work with patients, provided a community of colleagues, and increased my referrals."
Sarah Hedlund, Ph.D.
"The Program has had an enormous impact on my professional growth. The intensive classes and supervision helped me to become a confident and experienced therapist. Continued relationships with colleagues and mentors have been very enriching and enduring. I have especially enjoyed becoming a core faculty member and supervisor for the program."
Linda Dickson, MSW
"The Program provided an extensive and comprehensive foundation and framework which has greatly enhanced my clinical thinking and therapeutic skills."
Dee Stern, Ph.D.
"I went into the program thinking that I would learn a few concepts, never dreaming that it would have the profound personal and professional impact that it has had. As a graduate, I think about cases differently. I treat cases with much more confidence, my practice has solidified, my work has deepened, and I am among colleagues of the highest respect. I recommend the program without reservation."
Ginger M. Sullivan, L.P.C.
"My thinking developed and matured through training. Self-reflection and self-analysis became a part of my being. And the integration of intellect with its focus on analysis and questioning gave me a sense of calm about my work and myself."
Constance Brown, MSW
"We met with a diverse faculty - each lent his or her unique perspective and style to the learning process. I wove their views into my own approach."
Griffin Doyle, Ph.D.

"The exceptional quality of the teaching and supervision and the emphasis on clinical work were a stellar combination. In addition, the thought provoking discussions in the classroom and at potluck dinners promoted a camaraderie that enhanced learning. My growth adn development as a therapist are directly related to my participation in this program."
Linda Schwartz, MSW
"The teachers were excellent role models, the curriculum was comprehensive and challenging, and the supervisory experience was engaging and completely supportive. My increase in confidence and identity as an analytic therapist was palpable."
Angela Martin, MSN, CS-P
"The Program gave me the tools and support I needed to become a more effective therapist. Isolation is a professional hazard of our work. The Program was a place where I found both the support and knowledge I needed to start a sound practice."
