Mpsi Psychotherapy Center

The MPSI Psychotherapy Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing accessible and affordable psychoanalytic psychotherapy to underserved populations. Founded in 2009, the Center is a division of the Minnesota Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (MPSI), a 501(c)3 educational corporation.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make psychoanalytic psychotherapy more accessible and affordable for those who need it most. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to receive quality mental health services, regardless of their financial situation.

Our Services

The MPSI Psychotherapy Center offers low fee psychodynamic psychotherapy to individuals and couples, addressing a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship struggles. Our therapists use a psychodynamic approach, which focuses on understanding the unconscious forces that shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This approach recognizes that our past experiences, particularly those from early childhood, have a profound impact on our present and future.

Why We're Different

We're different from other mental health services because we're committed to providing intensive, long-term therapy that addresses the root causes of our problems. We're not limited by insurance constraints, which means we can focus on what really matters - helping our patients achieve lasting change.

Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors consists of experienced mental health professionals and community leaders who share our commitment to providing quality mental health services. Our Board Members bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Center, guiding our mission and ensuring that we deliver on our promises.

Our Fellows/Interns Program

Each Fall, we accept six to seven Fellows/Interns who participate in our Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program (PPTP). This program provides interns with an immersive experience in psychoanalytic thinking and practice, including two hours of group and two hours of individual supervision per week. This training opportunity allows our interns to gain hands-on experience in psychoanalytic psychotherapy while contributing to the growth and development of our Center.

Our Impact

As a result of our hard work and dedication, we've made a significant impact on our patients' lives. Our data-driven approach to therapy, using the OQ-45 outcome questionnaire, has demonstrated statistically significant reductions in patient symptoms and improvement in overall functioning.

Our Commitment

At the MPSI Psychotherapy Center, we're committed to serving our patients with compassion, empathy, and expertise. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health services, regardless of their financial situation. By providing low fee psychoanalytic psychotherapy, we aim to empower our patients to overcome their challenges and live more vital and fulfilling lives.
