Sometimes the pain is quieter: a flatness, a sense of being stuck, out of control, or repeating the same dynamics in work, love, and life. It can feel like something inside is misfiring, even if you can’t explain why.
Our work helps you understand the roots of your experience—how early relationships, unconscious beliefs, and long-standing emotional patterns may be shaping how you feel today.
It’s about depth, meaning, and lasting change. OR it’s about the deeper forces shaping behavior, not just managing symptoms.
We offer a low-cost, private-pay model. This means:
Therapists in our practice are all master-level clinicians enrolled in rigorous post-graduate psychoanalytic training programs. Many bring prior careers, diverse life experiences, and rich cultural perspectives to their work.
This isn’t an overnight change, but it’s meaningful, sustainable, and deep.

For over 50 years, TRCC has offered high-quality, affordable psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis to the New York community.
Founded in 1949 by the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP), TRCC embodies our mission to make psychoanalytic treatment more accessible. Every therapist at TRCC receives advanced clinical training through NPAP’s rigorous education programs, grounded in both classical and contemporary psychoanalytic theory and practice.
Psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy help people understand how their past affects how they feel and act today. Therapists trained in these approaches look at deep patterns, thoughts, and feelings that might not be easy to see at first. This kind of therapy helps people make sense of their emotions and feel more in control of their lives.
TRCC is a sliding-scale therapy clinic located in the West Village and serves as the training clinic for NPAP. TRCC is staffed by both licensed and unlicensed training therapists who are in psychoanalytic training at NPAP.
