IAP Group Practice

The Institute for the Advancement of Psychotherapy is a group practice of therapists, psychiatrists, educational therapists, and educational consultants who are dedicated to providing, effective, up-to-date treatment.  The members of the group practice collaborate together on cases, work together to provide programing for clients using a life span model, and work together to create a culture of clinical excellence.  The group keeps each other up to date on research, effective approaches, and work together to develop more effective approaches, write about their work, conduct research, and educate other therapists.   

We have six specialty centers, each with its own theoretical grounding. 
The clinicians' approaches are grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Family Systems approaches.  Some clinicians use all these approaches, while some specialize in one of them.   

We also have a nonprofit called Bay Area Community Therapy, which is where clients in financial need can work with clinicians in training, early career clinicians, and clinicians developing their abilities in treating specific issues.  At BACT, we have intern positions, postdoc positions, and nonclinical internships for those interested in gaining experience in the field. 

We have clinicians in Marin, San Francisco, and the East Bay.  The Institute for the Advancement of Psychotherapy has a number of successful experts in the field who have successful private practices who came together to form a community of clinical excellence, so most of our clinicians use their own office space, while some use offices of the Institute.  We value the independence of private practice, while also creating a community of a group practice.  We have one meeting per month on Fridays, from 11-1pm, which are held in Marin, San Francisco, and the East Bay.  

If you're interested in being involved in a community of clinical excellence that is dedicated to each individual's growth, and work without the theoretical approaches our centers are grounded in, you may be a great fit for our organization.  To become a part of IAP's group practice, please email info@sfiap.com about your interest in being part of the group.
