TUITION

According to New York State Licensing Requirements, candidates proceed through the program according to one of two tracks.
Track 1: Candidates who are licensed as physicians, physician assistants, LMSW’s, LCSW’s, psychologists, registered professional nurses and nurse practitioners pay for courses (see above), supervision, office rental and personal analysis, and can collect private practice fees.
Track 2: All other candidates-and those who are licensed in the above professions but also want licensure in psychoanalysis- pay for courses and a
yearly tuition of $4500.00 ($375.00 monthly, or payment in full for a $250.00 discount). As of this printing, the state is also requiring that these students pay fees to the Institute rather than directly to the analyst for the cost of the training analysis. Please contact us for more specific information on this.
Current tuition fees cover the entire cost of supervision and office rental, but not the training analysis.Track 2 students are not able to collect private practice fees for psychoanalysis, but clinical hours do count towards program requirements as they do in Track 1. Upon eligibility, all patients are transferred to the graduate’s private practice. Please note that tuition fees are only
charged while students are seeing patients to meet training requirements.
