Mental Wellness Month isn’t just for our clients… it’s for us, too.

As therapists, we hold a lot. Stories, grief, growth, rage, hope. January’s focus on mental wellness is a good moment to turn some of that care inward.

This month, a few gentle reminders for clinicians:

• You are not a bottomless well of empathy. Rest is part of the work.
• Supervision, consultation, and community are not luxuries. They’re lifelines.
• Your nervous system matters just as much as your clients’.
• Boundaries are not barriers… they’re care with a spine.

Mental wellness isn’t perfection. It’s maintenance. It’s noticing. It’s asking for support before you’re running on fumes.

Here’s to tending the healer, not just the healing. 🌿

Who We Are

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.
