The Blanton-Peale Institute & Counseling Center (Blanton-Peale) is a culturally affirming, empowerment-based, trauma-informed healing and learning community based in New York City. We are dedicated to cultivating holistic wellness and training generations of mental health professionals who reflect the vibrant diversity of the communities we serve.

We provide comprehensive outpatient behavioral health services, including individual, couples, family, and group therapy, as well as psychiatric evaluations and medication management, through our New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) licensed Mental Health Outpatient Treatment and Rehabilitative Services (MHOTRS) counseling center. Our team is highly trained across a range of therapeutic approaches, including psychoanalysis, CBT, EMDR, and spiritually integrated psychotherapy.

Additionally, Blanton-Peale offers robust training programs for emerging and established therapists, as well as educational resources for individuals and organizations seeking to deepen their understanding of mental health and wellness. Joining our team means becoming part of a mission-driven community committed to healing, learning, equity, and holistic wellness.

The Fee-for-Service Therapist provides outpatient psychotherapy and related clinical services to children, adolescents, and adults through our OMH-licensed MHOTRS (Part 599) counseling center. Compensation is earned per completed and documented service.

The fee-for-service therapist works under the clinical oversight of a Clinical Group Supervisor and is responsible for maintaining an active caseload sufficient to meet minimum service expectations, completing all documentation within regulatory time frames, and communicating availability to Human Resources and their supervisor.

Fee-for-service therapists set their standing schedule in collaboration with counseling center administration to ensure consistent availability for scheduling of new and existing clients in their care.
