Blanton-Peale Institute & Counseling Center

Blanton-Peale Institute & Counseling Center Blanton-Peale Institute & Counseling Center provides affordable holistic mental health care to people

The Blanton-Peale Institute and Counseling Center is an accredited post-graduate educational institute and mental health service organization founded in 1937 by Rev. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale of New York City’s Marble Collegiate Church and psychiatrist Dr. Smiley Blanton who had trained in analysis in Vienna with Sigmund Freud. The Institute was established to bring together the insights of psychol

ogy and psychiatry and the wisdom of the great spiritual traditions to address the spiritual and psychological problems of contemporary life. To this end the Institute offers both licensure and non-licensure qualifying training programs that incorporate a lively dialogue between psychology and spirituality in a manner that is non-sectarian and open to multiple faith traditions.

A small shift in thought can open a completely new path forward. The way we speak to ourselves quietly shapes the way we move through the world. 🌍✨

As Norman Vincent Peale reminds us, change often begins in the mind before it appears in our lives.

Positive thinking is not about pretending storms don’t exist. It is about learning how to walk through the rain with direction, clarity, and hope. 🌧️➡️🌤️

As Norman Vincent Peale reminds us, recognizing difficulty is part of growth. The real shift happens when we choose not to live inside the difficulty.

What helps you stay grounded when life feels heavy?

A reminder from Norman Vincent Peale that positive thinking is not about ignoring difficulty, but choosing where to place your attention.

Even in uncertain seasons, the mind can learn to search for possibility, meaning, and growth. 🌱

What does fear look like in your life, and how have you learned to recognize it?

Fear moves quietly. It can shape decisions before we even realize it’s there, narrowing what feels possible and influencing how we see ourselves and others. Smiley Blanton called it the most subtle and destructive of human conditions not because it is loud, but because it often goes unnoticed.

This Easter season, we are reminded that renewal often begins in small, quiet moments of care, reflection, and connection. At Blanton-Peale, we honor this time as an opportunity to pause, restore, and nurture hope in ourselves and one another. May this weekend bring you peace, strength, and space to grow.
We are here to support your well-being this Easter and always. 🕊️✨
