To celebrate the official launch of our NY MEMI Cohort, we are inviting our first 30 participants to join us as Founding Members 🩵 This special invitation is our way of investing in the leaders who will shape this new training.

Multichannel Eye Movement Integration (MEMI) is a trauma-processing method that uses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess distressing experiences, without requiring clients to talk in detail about the trauma itself.

Join us April 17–18th, for the MEMI training at ICP in NYC, led by Dr. Maria Haugen 📌

You will gain structured, practical tools to:
• Explore MEMI's theoretical model and expanded 10-step protocol.
• Learn step-by-step procedures to apply MEMI in clinical and non-clinical settings.
• Practice scripts and techniques to support client processing and reduce retraumatization.
• Study eye movement sets, assessment scales, and strategies for interrupting client abreactions.
• Gain tools for treating phobias, substance use challenges, trauma symptoms, and stuck emotional states.

✅ Clinicians may begin using MEMI immediately after completing the training. Additional consultation is required for those pursuing MEMI Certification and wishing to promote themselves as *certified providers*.

"Eating for two" is a complicated phrase for someone in Eating Disorder recovery. ✨
The transition to parenthood is a massive biological and psychological shift. For clients with active or historic eating disorders, the pressure of fertility and the physical changes of pregnancy can feel overwhelming.

We’re bringing together a powerhouse panel of experts—a therapist, a psychologist, and a dietitian—to explore how we can bridge the gap between perinatal care and ED recovery.

What we’ll dive into:
✅ Navigating the "Body Image" rollercoaster of pregnancy.
✅ Identifying food rigidity vs. healthy prenatal nutrition.
✅ Supporting recovery during the postpartum "fourth trimester."
Join us Virtually: 🗓 April 15, 2026 | 12pm – 2pm

🎟 Pricing starts at $25 for ICP Students/Candidates! ⭐ 2 NYS CE Credits available.

Let’s ensure our clients have the support they need to maintain their recovery while growing their families.

Who We Are

Founded in 1971, The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy (ICP) is one of the oldest and largest not-for-profit mental health training and treatment facilities in New York City.

The Institute is composed of a group of over 200 therapists. Most of our therapists have training in psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy through one of ICP’s training programs or an equivalent – some are currently in such training. Many of our therapists have completed their graduate degrees and are licensed while others are earning those degrees or are completing licensing requirements. With the exception of a small number of senior therapists, all clinical work is performed under the supervision of a licensed and experienced professional supervisor.

ICP offers a full range of psychotherapeutic services, including individual and group psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis in addition to more specialized treatment services. ICP is dedicated to providing high quality therapy at low to moderate cost, offering post-graduate training for therapists, and educating the public about mental health issues.
