NYIPT History
At the beginning of the new
millennium, The New York Institute for Psychotherapy Training in
Infancy, Childhood and Adolescence (NYIPT) was founded to help needy
children.
The program was developed as a
free-standing professional institute based on the curriculum of the
Child and Adolescent Therapy Training Program at the New Hope Guild
Community Mental Health Centers from 1972-1999. In the early 1970’s, Jeanette Levitt founded and
directed a Child and Adolescent Therapy Training Program, offering low
cost, quality training to therapists who worked with children at the New
Hope Guild Centers. In 1985, Dr. Norma Simon became the Program Director
until 1995 when Dr. Phyllis Cohen took over the Program for the next
five years. In 2000, under the leadership of Dr. Phyllis Cohen,
Director, Dr. Carole Grand, Clinical Coordinator, Ms. Mary Tirolo,
Co-treasurer, Ms. Gloria Malter, Co-Treasurer, and Ms. Karen Cadwalader,
Assistant Program Director, the New York Institute for Psychotherapy
Training (NYIPT) was launched. NYIPT received a provisional charter as a Training
Institute, and became an accredited, free-standing Training Program in
2002, offering a certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy to
its graduates. In 2005, NYIPT received its not-for-profit 501 (c)(3)
status and Dr. Tracy Simon joined the Program’s Executive Board as the
Associate Program Director. From its inception, the New
Hope Guild and NYIPT Programs have graduated over 140 qualified child
therapists who have worked with thousands of needy children and parents.
Our graduates now teach and supervise countless others in the field of
mental health and psychotherapy.
NYIPT has recently partnered with The Opportunity
Charter School in Harlem, as well as with the Administration for
Children’s Services (ACS), offering training for trainers, teachers,
parents, interns and other mental health workers. |
