  • A psychotherapy practice and training institute. The Institute does not provide emergency or crisis services — if you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

THE NOVEMBER INSTITUTE

A psychotherapy practice 
and training institute
working in the family
systems tradition.

We see individuals, couples, and families. We train clinicians at every stage of their formation. And we develop new work in the field — through inquiry, writing, and the tools we build for the practice of therapy.

ONE INSTITUTE

Three integrated activities

"The patterns we struggle with, even as individuals, took shape in relationship — and shift most durably in relationship."

The November Institute is a psychotherapy practice and training institute working in the family systems tradition. Three activities — clinical practice, clinical training, and the development of new work in the field — happen under one roof and inform one another.

We are not a practice with a training program attached, or a training program with a clinic attached. The clinical work, the training, and the intellectual production of the Institute are inseparable — each one makes the others possible.

WHAT WE MEAN BY

FAMILY SYSTEMS

A person's anxiety and reactivity are rarely about that person alone

The systems we live in shape what becomes possible for us

Family of origin, marriage, work, and the generations behind and ahead

Not a technique — a way of seeing that organizes the work

The same frame whether you arrive as an individual, a couple, a family, or a clinician

THREE WAYS TO ENGAGE

NOT SURE WHERE TO START

Most people who reach out are not sure exactly what they need.

That's fine. Send a brief note — a few sentences about what's bringing you here — and we'll help you find the right starting point.
