Company Description

In today's world, we all recognize the vital importance of mental health care. At Blanton-Peale, we're focused on providing affordable, accessible, holistic, and culturally responsive mental health services and training the next generation of mental health professionals. Blanton-Peale therapists walk with their clients through the challenges of life. They help them to heal, to grow, and to flourish. In 2023, we provided 33,000 affordable mental health care sessions to New Yorkers who needed it most. This includes talk therapy and complementary psychiatric services. Our goal is to help each person become their best self, the person they were born to be and to find their own resilience. And because we work with such a diverse set of clients, Blanton-Peale is a sought-after training ground. Early-career and seasoned social workers, mental health counselors, psychiatrists, and psychoanalysts get the experience they need under our expert supervisors' wise and watchful eyes. Our founders, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and Dr. Smiley Blanton, were innovative, forward-leaning thinkers. Amid the Great Depression – a time of rising unemployment, tumult, and pain – Drs. Peale and Blanton were among the first to address mental health alongside spiritual care.
