Section I
Individuals & Couples
Individual 01
Individual Therapy for Adults
Brooklyn · Manhattan · Telehealth

Our integrative psychodynamic approach goes deeper than symptom management — exploring what's actually driving anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, identity questions, and life transitions. We work with EMDR, IFS, AEDP, CBT, and ExRP — selected for you, not applied as a formula.

Couples 02
Couples & Relationship Therapy All relationships
Brooklyn · Manhattan · Intensives

Most couples aren't fighting about what they think they're fighting about. Our couples therapists are trained in EFT and work with all relationship structures — LGBTQIA+, ENM, polyamorous, kink-aware — in a space that is affirming without qualification. Sex-positive therapy available for partners navigating intimacy, desire, shame, and sexual identity.

Section II
Teens & Families
Teen 03
Teen Therapy Ages 13–18
Brooklyn · Manhattan · Telehealth

Teen distress doesn't always look like distress — it looks like irritability, withdrawal, falling grades, constant conflict. Our teen therapists are trained to meet young people where they actually are, using an attachment-based, developmentally informed approach that respects a teen's need for autonomy. With appropriate consent, we bring in caregivers as allies — not reporters.

Section IV · Clinical Training

Supervision, consultation,
and clinical education

BIPS offers clinical supervision and consultation for early-career and advanced clinicians — grounded in the same values of depth, humility, and ongoing growth that define our clinical culture.

Our supervisors include licensed clinical psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed mental health counselors who receive ongoing specialized training and case consultation themselves. We take the development of early-career clinicians seriously — because good supervision shapes good therapy.

We also offer an ongoing clinical education program for BIPS staff, including seminars, case consultation groups, and specialized training in evidence-based approaches.

Supervision available for
LMSWs — individual and group supervision toward LCSW licensure, with supervisors who hold specialty training in your area of focus
MHC-LPs and Limited Permit holders — toward full licensure as an LMHC, with structured case review and ongoing clinical education
Advanced clinical interns — practicum and internship supervision for graduate students in accredited social work and counseling programs
Consultation for licensed clinicians — case consultation, practice-building support, and specialty consultation available to independently licensed clinicians outside of BIPS
Clinical education at BIPS

What sets BIPS apart

Specialized, affirming,
and grounded in justice

Many BIPS clinicians have pursued advanced training beyond their license — in the specific approaches and populations they serve. They don't generalize. They go deep.

And they do it within a practice where social justice is a clinical orientation, not a mission statement. How power, identity, and systemic context shape mental health is not a side conversation here — it's part of the work.

Advanced training in their specialty

Rigorous post-graduate programs in EMDR, IFS, AEDP, EFT, ExRP, somatic approaches, perinatal mental health — not weekend workshops.

Supported toward their niche

Each therapist receives supervision and clinical education targeted to their specialty — supervised by licensed clinical psychologists, LCSWs, and LMHCs who receive ongoing specialized training themselves.

Social justice as clinical practice

Race, gender, sexuality, class, immigration status, disability — central to how we understand people and practice therapy.

The match matters

You're paired with someone whose clinical training, approach, and availability fit your needs and schedule.

All-affirming, always

Affirming across gender, sexuality, race, culture, religion, body, and relationship structure — unconditionally.
