Our Mission:


The Integrative Psychology Institute is a mission to reimagine therapy and transform the culture of mental health.

Weaving a Web of Human Nature

OUR PHILOSOPHY:

Integrative Psychology is a comprehensive system of human understanding, extending from metaphysical principles to specific clinical protocols. It’s based on a simple idea: no single modality can fully capture the complexity of human nature. On our trainings, you’ll learn how to think across modalities and weave them together to form a more complete picture of consciousness.
