Our New York Clinical Team

Our Philosophy

The Village Institute for Psychotherapy was first established in 1994 in NYC’s West Village. We believe that therapy, when it is active, collaborative and deep, can be life-changing.

Founded by Dr. Frederick Woolverton, PhD, TVI was an early adopter of the outpatient group practice model in New York, assembling a dynamic team of clinicians with an assertive mission: to bring about a renaissance in people’s lives by creating lasting change. By 2004, the Institute had grown to a staff of 10 psychotherapists and over 200 patients.

TVI also became an APA accredited training facility in 2009 and continues to launch dozens of well-trained psychotherapists into the community. We emphasize treating people, not behaviors and we train our team to fully appreciate the complicated nature of people’s lives, relationships and actions.

The Village Institute for Psychotherapy foregoes the drawn-out, staid approaches that often caricature psychoanalysis and seeks ways to accelerate the change process. We believe that the patient and the therapist both actively work together to bring about lasting change and emotional well-being.

Finding a good psychotherapist can be emotionally exhausting and time consuming.

We take it very seriously that you are entrusting us with key/critical aspects of your life. That is why it is our goal to provide a team of psychologists & psychotherapists who constantly grow and challenge one another to be the best at what they do. At The Village Institute our team is constantly studying the most effective ideas and research to improve their skills as clinicians.
