I love my mother but...
Who else is loved so deeply and, conversely, blamed so intensely as one’s mother? The mother stories we carry can empower or derail us. Many of us struggle with limiting cultural myths about motherhood and old stories about our mothers that cover hidden longings. Using guided imagery, meditation, journal writing and group processing we will explore our stories and expand your life.

Interested in WTCI's two-year postgraduate training program, The Embodied Psyche? Join us May 10 or May 15 for an online Open House to learn more! https://www.wtci-nyc.org/trainingprogram
We at WTCI are enraged at the real possibility that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. As history has proven, there is no banning of abortions, only banning of safe abortions. As mental health clinicians, we have witnessed the devastating effect on mental health when the right to healthcare is dismantled and the essential right to self and body determination are once again robbed. Abortion is a human right. WTCI continues to stand strongly against banning the constitutional right to abortion and steadfastly for the right to body empowerment and autonomy for all.
