The Critical Therapy Institute (CTI) focuses on teaching, research and the application of critical therapy in advisory, consulting, and educational services. Critical Therapy provides psychotherapy to individuals, couples, groups, and families, as well as consulting services and training to non-profit and for-profit organizations and businesses. Created in 2012 to offer more than comfort, adjustment, and accommodation, unlike traditional psychotherapy, we believe therapy should be transformational and empowering, moving people to action. We offer a unique approach and help our patients and clients to achieve clarity and resolution with respect to life transitions and relationships, opening new possibilities for action and self-understanding. We pay special attention to how race, class, gender, and religion influence one’s identity. CTI is a vibrant community whose members and candidates believe in the transformative power of psychotherapy to change the world. Our goal is empowerment, liberation and healing. Join us and be a part the transformation.

"Living our lives through technology, many of us may encounter great swells of grief for all the lost moments. The danger, I think, is not that we will feel this grief. The danger is that we won’t." via NYTimes

We’ve lost the capacity to feel the grief technology brings.

How do we view success?

I bet you've probably passed several of these already.

Since the pandemic, Americans’ use of mental-health services like therapy has increased significantly — by 39% from 2020 to 2022, according to one study. There are reasons to believe that trend will continue; the day after the November election, Zocdoc saw a 22% jump in mental-health bookings in just two hours.

Therapists are on the front lines of this change: real, human people scrolling past the same apocalyptic headlines as the rest of us. How are they managing their clients’ uncertainties alongside their own?

They take our calls and hear our anxieties. But how are the mental-health practitioners doing?

Our Story

The Critical Therapy Center (CTC) was founded in 2012 by Silvia M. Dutchevici, MA, LCSW in recognition of the need to expand psychoanalytic praxis to include and be mindful of the ways race, class, gender and religion interact with psychological conflicts. Dissatisfied with the limits of psychoanalysis, Silvia began incorporating critical pedagogy and liberation psychology in her work with patients, creating critical therapy, focusing on issues regarding empowerment and liberation. Critical therapy analyzes the way ideology is present in the clinical hour and believes that psychotherapy requires an interrogation of both the therapist’s and the patient’s world view. Our goal is empowerment, liberation and healing. We offer: psychotherapy, consulting and forensic psychological evaluations, executive coaching and leadership development, as well as training, clinical supervision and keynote speakers.
