About Us

 OUR MISSION

Promoting the development and use of psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic thought, and education for the benefit of the community.


The Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center has been providing internationally recognized psychoanalytic training for the past 70 years.

Our graduates have provided psychoanalytic treatment to the residents of northeast Ohio, and have been leaders within the academic and organizational worlds of psychoanalysis.

During the last two decades, our mission has expanded from psychoanalytic training and professional development to a more inclusive concern for the wide-ranging contributions of psychoanalysis to the Cleveland community. The membership includes medical, clinical, and academic practitioners, reflecting that psychoanalysis is an inclusive discipline with contributions from varied professional communities. We provide training to committed professionals from diverse backgrounds who find common ground in their commitment to understanding the ways that psychoanalysis can enhance their practices and their professions.

The Cleveland Psychoanalytic Center is a non-profit organization located in the Cedar-Fairmount neighborhood in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. CPC is both a membership organization and a psychoanalytic training institute and approved by the American Psychoanalytic Association. We are supported in our mission by private contributions, membership dues, tuition, and program fees.
