TheraPsych Institute is a clinical training, precepting, and consulting organization for psychiatric nurse practitioners, licensed clinical social workers, mental health counselors, and the graduate students about to become them. We exist to close the gap between psychopharmacology and psychotherapy — and to raise the standard of integrated psychiatric care.
Psychiatric medication and psychotherapy have been pulled apart by the structure of modern care. We believe they belong together — in one appointment, in one clinician's framework, in one conversation. Every program we run, every student we precept, and every practice we consult on is shaped by that conviction.
Elevate Practice. Empower Minds. Expand Possibility.PMHNP programs teach prescribing. Counseling and social work programs teach therapy. Patients live at the intersection — and the field rarely trains anyone to meet them there.
PMHNPs leave training fluent in psychopharmacology but rarely equipped to do the talk-therapy work that often determines whether medication holds. We give them the modalities, the language, and the CE hours to change that.
LCSWs, LMHCs, and LPCs work alongside prescribers every day, often without ever seeing the medical side of psychiatric care in training. Our precepting tracks change that.
Graduate students are often the ones who see the gap most clearly. They want preceptors who teach across the line — not just sign hours. We are that preceptor.
Clinical excellence does not pay rent. Most mental-health clinicians launch and run practices with no business training. Our consulting practice exists for them.
Psychotherapy skills training in five evidence-based modalities. Self-paced online course or live virtual cohort. 43 CE contact hours. Built for prescribers.
