Entering its 30th year, the GW Professional Psychology Program, which is accredited by the American Psychological Association, trains students using the practitioner-scholar model. Students receive a clinical and theoretical immersion in approaches to psychotherapy, assessment and clinical consultation with roots in psychoanalytic psychology and culturally thoughtful and responsive approaches to understanding the whole person, and the social worlds they navigate. The program’s Center Clinic is led by faculty and students of our program who are dedicated to offering affordable and accessible psychotherapy and psychological assessment to the diverse members of the Washington, DC community. 

Our faculty are committed to supporting and training our diverse students, while maintaining their own clinical work, scholarship and research. The program has trained generations of alumni as effective psychotherapists, assessment psychologists, consultants, teachers and leaders who are grounded in advanced psychoanalytic theory, strong assessment skill and culturally responsive and ethical practice.
