Expand & Deepen Your Clinical Skills

Psychodynamic Continuing Education and Training in New Jersey

 

We acknowledge that the attitudes of the wider community we serve are shifting around race and culture, as are long-standing notions of gender, sexuality, religious belief, and ability. CPPNJ espouses the value of inclusivity and a clinical stance that incorporates the patient, the therapist, and the social milieu in which both are embedded.  Our psychoanalytic stance is to accept all identities and work to help each person become their best selves.
