Each year, CPPNJ provides a series of full-day conferences, workshops, open seminars and/or mini-courses to address the training and educational needs of mental health professionals throughout the region. The purpose of this part of our institute is to offer training opportunities for clinicians who are not currently participating in our core training programs, but wish to add to their clinical skills and experience.
In addition, CPPNJ offers Continuing Education courses to all licensed or license-eligible psychotherapists. A copy of your license, or provisional license, and CV are required.
Our full semester courses are offered on Wednesdays via Zoom between 9:00am and 2:00pm.

Our History, Mission, and Values
The Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of New Jersey (CPPNJ) was founded in 2009 as a result of a merger between two long-standing and well-respected psychoanalytic training institutes, The Contemporary Center for Advanced Psychoanalytic Study (CCAPS) and The Institute for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy of New Jersey (IPPNJ). The mission of CPPNJ is to bring high quality, accessible and relevant psychoanalytic and psychodynamic training and continuing education to New Jersey. Our further goal is to increase diversity and accessibility of psychoanalytic training and services to communities that have not previously been reached by the field.
There are three pillars of our institute that define our core mission and identity. The first is our training programs providing opportunities for extended, in-depth study of psychoanalytic and psychodynamic orientations to clinical work. The second is continuing education: CPPNJ is dedicated to providing a variety of annual conferences, workshops, select seminars and mini-courses for all mental health professionals interested in learning more about psychoanalytic/psychodynamic topics. The third pillar of our institute is our community of colleagues who share a similar outlook and range of interests in their profession.
These pillars both reflect and support a number of core values of our institute. We strive to be a warm and welcoming community that fosters strong personal as well as professional connections. CPPNJ and its forebears (IPPNJ and CCAPS) promoted an egalitarian atmosphere within the institute where all members and participants are, fundamentally, colleagues who come together to learn. The founders of our parent institutes tried to avoid replicating the rigid hierarchies they had experienced in their own training programs of the past.
