  • 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..

INQUIRY

The intellectual life
of the institute,
made public.

The Institute is not only a place where clinical work happens. It is a place where ideas are developed and tested — through inquiry, writing, conversation, teaching, and the tools we build for the practice of therapy.

THE PODCAST

The Relationship We Live In

Each episode is a long-form conversation with someone who has thought seriously about one aspect of a central question: what does it take to function well in the relationships, families, and systems that define our lives?

FAMILY DIAGRAM

A tool for seeing your family system on the page

An app for clients, clinicians, and anyone interested in mapping their family system across generations. Not a substitute for clinical work, but a way to make the patterns visible.
