Welcome to NCPA

We are proud to introduce our new and enhanced website. Feel free to explore the site using the directory on the left.

The public access section allows consumers to query the "Find a Psychologist" database, formerly known as "On-Line Referral Service." This newly revamped feature provides a more comprehensive profile of private practice information which we believe will better service our members and public inquiries. Visitors will also find helpful community resources, a user-friendly method of contacting us and a simplified manner in which to apply for membership.


For NCPA Members only: An ID and password are necessary to access this section. As a current member, you will be provided with a temporary ID and password via e-mail. Upon your initial log-in to the Members Only section, please use the assigned login information.

Once logged-in, all information is menu- driven, providing you with the ability to navigate the entire site. In addition, we are most excited to provide a much expanded self-entry database (replacing the currently used paper on-line profile form.) This new feature is designed to enable you to specifically represent your practice and keep your information up-to-date. As a School Psychologist, Academic, Agency/Hospital affiliated psychologist, Emeritus or Student, you have the ability to enter pertinent information to be included in the NCPA Member Directory.

Since this newly designed website is still a work in progress, your comments/suggestions are most welcome. You may click on "Contact Us" link, call 516-377-1010 or fax us at 516-377-1240.

Couple Therapy: A Developmental Approach

Instructor: Michael D. Zentman, Ph.D.

This twelve-hour seminar will focus on a model of couples therapy that integrates psychoanalytic and family systems theories and techniques.  It relies on a developmental schema that maps the dynamics, structure, and emotional atmosphere of a relationship in order to generate a plan of treatment. This is a multi-level approach that addresses processes on interactional, structural, intra-psychic, and intergenerational levels.    Participants will discuss their cases and video recordings of treatment sessions will demonstrate clinical theory and techniques.
