Clinical Supervisor

Introduction

Blanton-Peale Institute & Counseling Center was founded in 1937 by internationally renowned author of The Power of Positive Thinking, Rev. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, and psychiatrist Dr. Smiley Blanton, who trained in psychoanalysis with Sigmund Freud. True to our early mission of attending to the holistic needs of individuals in our community, our integrative approach of treating the whole person drives our work by emphasizing psychological, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. Situated in one of the most diverse cities in the world, New York City, Blanton-Peale is passionate about serving New Yorkers living through vulnerable and challenging circumstances, as well as those of all socioeconomic backgrounds, beliefs, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Through our training programs and outpatient mental health clinic, we embody an affordable, accessible, and culturally responsive approach that can ensure no one is turned away due to ability to pay.
