Hamm Clinic is pleased to announce its collaboration and co-location with Minnesota Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (MICPP), a psychodynamic training institute for post-graduate therapists.

Under the partnership, Hamm Clinic will provide MICPP scholars with access to its physical space and technology resources. In turn, MICPP will allow the clinic's fellows audit classes free of charge and staff to participate in continuing education opportunities for a reduced fee.

"There is clear alignment between the two organizations," said Angela Lewis-Dmello, MSW, LICSW, Hamm Clinic's new Executive Director. "Both Hamm Clinic and MICPP are dedicated to increasing our respective presence and reputations in the psychodynamic and mental health communities. Co-locating helps reestablish our commitment to relational psychodynamic practice, while giving MICPP a St. Paul home."

Together, the two organizations will collaborate on an annual joint conference, enhance specialized training programs for post-doctoral psychology students, provide incentives for staff/trainee recruitment and retention, as well as serve clients in need of free or low-cost clinical mental health care.

"We are excited to partner with Hamm Clinic," said Colin Hollidge, MICPP Board Chair. "Not only are they providing the space, location, and opportunities that are well-suited to our students' needs, their clinical approach is also consistent with MICPP's purpose, mission. and values."
