Community Institute for Psychotherapy (CIP) is a nonprofit, tax exempt center founded in 1977, providing high quality, low-cost mental health services for individuals and families who don’t have the resources to pay full fees for professional help. CIP offers a broad range of counseling services designed to meet a variety of needs. At CIP we believe that through psychotherapy, training, education, and prevention, we play a vital role in personal and global change. We believe that the healing of the individual and the healing of the planet are inseparable.

Programs include a Community Speaker’s Bureau, Checklists for Health, and a Professional Development Program for licensed practitioners throughout the Bay Area. |
