Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education
Mission: The Training Institute for Mental Health (TI) was founded in 1961 with a heartfelt mission to give everyone a chance to work with a qualified professional to gain relief from their emotional problems regardless of their background and socio-economic status. More than fifty years later, TI is still committed to providing affordable, high quality psychotherapy services in New York City. Our Strength is derived from the courage of our patients, the commitment of our students, and the support of our community. Working together, we can achieve our best. Through donated support, not only do we improve the lives of patients in need, we instruct, mentor and assist psychotherapists in the development of their skills.
Results: The Training Institute for Mental Health operates one of the most respected and one of the longest-running clinical programs for low income people in New York City. Individuals and families receive complete psychotherapy services from post-graduate mental health professionals who, in turn, gain valuable treatment experience under the supervision of seasoned practitioners. For patients, TI provides an inexpensive yet effective means of overcoming painful emotional problems and difficult life issues. For post-graduates beginning careers as mental health practitioners, TI offers an opportunity to gain experience and learn the art of psychotherapy under the guidance of respected senior clinicians. Each year, at its base in Chelsea, TI counselors provide more than 10,000 hours of psychotherapy to 500 low-income New Yorkers. TI also offers family therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, and free, onsite counseling at a Brooklyn public school serving a large population of students from low-income backgrounds.
