About Us

Hartford Family Institute (HFI) has been a cutting-edge Psychotherapy and Training Center since 1969. The Psychotherapy created and practiced here is a combination of in-depth body emotional work, energy healing, shamanic spiritual healing and trauma work. It is called HFI Body-Centered Psychotherapy. HFI provides this unique psychotherapy and also offers healing in other therapeutic modalities. All practitioners at HFI share a common belief in the healing effect of aligning our energy. We also share a common vision and concern for people’s emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. HFI training programs offer advanced psychotherapy training for counselors, therapists, healers, and practitioners in the healing arts. We are now a community of two Partners, two associates and several independent practitioners. In addition to our primary location in West Hartford, CT., we also still have a group in Kansas City, MO. that has been going for over 40 years, and had a training program in New York City for 23 years, and in Germany for 21 years.

Hartford Family Institute’s Center for Healing Arts consists of five core partners, three associates and numerous Independent Practitioners. We are a community of Psychotherapists, Energy Healers and other Healing Arts Practitioners who have joined together to enjoy a collegial atmosphere, to learn from one another and to co-market our practices. We share a joint vision about counseling, psychotherapy and healing and meet regularly to discuss our similarities and differences. Each independent practitioner is a sole proprietor of their own private practice. There is no supervisory connection between the Partners, Associates and the Independent Practitioners.
