At the New York Person-Centered Resource Center, we believe that people have an inherent capacity to select what is best for themselves. Under conditions that allow them to clarify their needs and identify their natural problem-solving impulses, they will begin to grow, and develop their full potential. Our practice finds its roots in the work of American psychologist Carl Rogers, Client-Centered Therapy, The Person-Centered Approach, as well as other forms of Humanistic Psychology, and the Anti-Psychiatry movement.

About Us

The Center was founded in 2004 with the purpose of helping clients develop their full potential. To this end, we promote the development of our clients’ internal resources, and provide guidance in recognizing and solving problems. We offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups. Additionally, we work in partnership with Dr. Peter Breggin's Center for the Study of Empathic Therapy, Education and Living.

The Center

The Center is located on the ground floor of one of the historic houses of Milligan Place, a charming Greenwich Village landscaped courtyard with a water fountain. Built in 1852, and once occupied by the playwright Eugene O’Neill, Milligan Place is considered a landmark building by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. Its serene atmosphere makes Milligan Place an ideal location for mental health practices. For more information on Milligan Place, see the Forgotten NY webpage on the Alleys of Greenwich Village.

We are looking for New York State licensed mental health professionals who consider themselves Humanistic, Eclectic, and/or Person-Centered to join our group practice. This includes: renting office space, sharing referrals, and engaging in group building activities. Weekdays, evenings, and weekends are available in one of our three Greenwich Village offices.
