Women's Therapy
Centre Institute

WTCI’s mission is to deepen and amplify an intersectional feminist voice within the evolving dialogue of contemporary relational theory. Central to this endeavor is our understanding that the vicissitudes of early life, socioeconomic position, racial construct, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, disability, size, and access to resources constitute one's mind/body. This perspective, then, transforms clinical practice. With this understanding, we are committed to building a strong community of learners, thinkers and doers who are empowered by a psychologically informed social justice lens.

Minding the Body: Culture, Feminisms & Relational Psychotherapy —Two Year Training Program Begins

WTCI’s two-year program educates postgraduate clinicians from a feminist, relational trans-inclusive perspective. Our decades of experience reading the body has evolved a theory and practice that deepens our understanding of how the relational and sociopolitical context of our lives constructs psyche and soma. We see the body as the living vital center of feelings and experience and as a canvas where power relations, multiple forms of control, creativity, and protest are taken up and expressed. This year's program is held primarily in person in NYC, with about a third of classes offered virtually. Students are expected to attend in the same format as their instructor for each class. Please contact us for the academic calendar.

WTCI Fundraiser Film Screening + Q&A

WTCI

SEX WORK It’s Just a Job is a powerful, deeply human documentary that centers the voices of sex workers and organizers leading the growing movement to decriminalize consensual sex work in the United States. Every day, people across the country are arrested, harassed, denied housing, incarcerated, and threatened by police for engaging in consensual sexual exchanges between adults. This film asks a simple but urgent question: what if the harm comes not from the work itself, but from the laws that criminalize it?

This event will feature a film screening followed by a Q&A with the producers and sex workers featured in the film. It will take place atThe LGBTQ Center in NYC.

WTCI Fundraiser Film Screening + Q&A
SEX WORK It’s Just a Job

WTCI welcomed filmmaker Tami Kashia Gold, producers on the films, and sex workers featured in the film for an enlightening panel after a viewing of the film.

We came together for an eye-opening screening of SEX WORK: It’s Just a Job, a powerful documentary centering the voices of sex workers and organizers fighting for decriminalization across the U.S. The film sparked meaningful conversations, challenged stigma, and invited us to rethink what safety, dignity, and justice look like for sex workers. Through personal stories and lived experiences, we explored a big question: What if the real harm isn't the work, but the laws that criminalize it? Thank you to everyone who showed up, listened, learned, and helped make space for connection, conversation, and change!
