What We Do
Advanced Clinical training
We provide comprehensive education and supervision in systemic family therapy, equipping Fellows (Master’s and post-Master’s clinicians) to excel in a wide range of clinical settings. Our curriculum emphasizes relational dynamics, contextual awareness, self-awareness and thoughtful, ethical practice.
Accessible Mental Health Services
To address ongoing gaps in mental health access, we offer sliding-fee therapy for uninsured and underinsured individuals, couples, and families accross Pennsylvania. Fellows deliver high-quality services under expert supervision, ensuring clients receive care that is both relationally grounded and clinically sound.

Institute for Relational Change
Support the work.
Strengthen Relationships.
Transform Community.
At the Institute for Relational Change, we believe that healing relationships has the power to change lives, and entire communities. Every day, we work with individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, disconnection, crisis, and life transitions. Through therapy, education, and training, we help people build healthier, more meaningful connections.
But this work doesn’t happen in isolation, and it doesn’t happen without support.
The Institute for Relational Change is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing therapy to underserved communities, and training the next generation of systemic, culturally responsive clinicians.
