Jessica Mitchell

Before joining the Faculty of the Doctor of Ministry Program at Hebrew Union College and New York University, I served as Dean and Executive Director of the Westchester Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. I also held the roles of Dean of Studies, Director of Training, and Director of the Psychoanalytic Training Program at the Blanton-Peale Graduate Institute. My background in fine arts and publishing preceded my graduate training in psychology. I hold a Ph.D. in Psychology from The City College of the City University of New York, with a joint track in Experimental Cognition and Clinical Psychology of Neurobehavioral Disorder. I also completed my psychoanalytic training at the Westchester Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. I remain actively involved in supporting the future of independent psychoanalysis. I serve on the Executive Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP). I am also a member of the Executive Committee of the Board and Chair-Elect of the Assembly of Psychoanalytic Institutes (API) for the American Board for Accreditation in Psychoanalysis (ABAP).
