Training Institute
In addition to offering psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, and groups, Psychodrama NJ is a training institute, providing hundreds hours of professional education annually.
​
We are committed to creating comprehensive, transformative learning experiences for professionals who want to grow their clinical skills. With a wide range of educational formats offered throughout the year, participants can select the learning style and schedule that best suits their professional and personal needs.
Our Training Philosophy
At Psychodrama NJ, we believe that effective clinical work begins with a solid foundation of professional self-care and ethical practice. Our trainings emphasize not only the development of psychodramatic and trauma-informed skills but also the importance of nurturing personal and professional well-being. Participants leave with new tools, deeper insights, and strengthened practices to sustain long-term professional growth.
Professional Community & Collaboration
Our learning events foster strong professional connections, recognizing the value of collaboration with allied peers across disciplines. We welcome students and professionals from social work, psychology, counseling, education, drama, creative arts, human services, addictions, nursing, psychiatry, law, and more. Some participants pursue board certification in psychodrama, while others attend for advanced training, continuing education, or the joy of learning.
​
Why Psychodrama Training?
Professionals trained in psychodrama help their clients address challenges in creative, action-oriented ways that lead to meaningful change. Psychodrama theory and methods are highly adaptable and applied effectively in clinical, educational, and organizational settings with groups, families, couples, and individuals.
