Salt Lake Chapter of the IPI (IPI SLC)

The Salt Lake City chapter of IPI is one of its most active. For the past ten years, IPI SLC has been providing supervision, conferences, seminars and ongoing training programs to a growing community of professionals interested in psychodynamic theory and therapy. IPI SLC faculty are active members of the larger IPI community, and all are graduates of IPI’s national programs and are current IPI fellows or faculty. Recently, IPI SLC has established a partnership with Westminster College that will enrich IPI SLC’s programming in future years
