About ICP
ICP is one of the oldest and most respected treatment and training institutes in NYC. We have been treating a diverse population of patients in the NYC area since 1971. Our mission is to make therapy accessible to as many New Yorkers as possible. We are proud to offer high quality treatment at affordable prices. We offer sliding scale fees based on income and we accept several insurance plans. ICP accepts patients for virtual treatment (on zoom), which allows us to treat patients who reside anywhere in the state of NY. We also offer in-person treatment in our beautiful offices in the Columbus Circle area of NYC currently on a limited basis.
Why ICP?
ICP has many specialized treatment options which enables us to work with patients seeking help for a wide variety of challenges. Our treatment programs include: Adult psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, Family and Couples Treatment, Treatment for body image and eating challenges, Gender and Sexuality treatment program for challenges facing the LGBTQ+ population, Sex Therapy, and Trauma treatment. Our therapists are either current or former candidates or interns of our post-graduate level specialized and advanced training programs, so you can expect to work with a therapist who is trained in their specialty area and receives supervision by experts in the field. We hope you will consider us when taking this courageous first step.
What to expect at ICP?
ICP’s philosophy is to ensure that we are the right place for you to begin your mental health journey. We understand that a false start with the wrong treatment facility can be a setback To prevent this we schedule two preliminary conversations with caring therapists to get a better idea of the help that you seek. The first one being an initial brief call to gather some basic information. If ICP seems like it might be a good fit for you we will then schedule a second more in depth conversation (remote or in-person). Then we will either match you with an ICP therapist or provide alternate options if ICP doesn’t have the capability to best help you. We aim to make this a smooth and relatively easy process and provide you with a contact person who you can reach out to with any questions you may have along the way until you have been matched with a therapist. We take great care to make the best match possible to accomplish your mental health goals. Our ultimate goal is for our patients to receive the best treatment possible with an empathic, caring therapist who you can trust to work with you collaboratively and non-judgmentally towards feeling better and achieving your goals.
