Our mission is to provide training, education and research to individuals, families and health-care professionals who are interested in expanding their therapeutic repertoire. The TIP promotes a multidimensional healing paradigm that incorporates contemporary research in psychoneuroimmunology, Ericksonian psychotherapeutic principles and indigenous wisdom.
