After more than 25 years of service, Susan B. Levin, Ph.D., has announced her retirement from the Houston Galveston Institute.

Testimonials

As it is every year, the ISI was powerful. I love watching the transition as participants fully participate in the process rather than learn about collaboration as content.

International Summer Institute participant

“I liked the small group environment where we could share our ideas and challenges. I found the course challenging. It… allowed me to expand my ideas and apply them in creative ways. I sincerely appreciate Harlene for her ability to create and sustain this experience. Thank You!”

Supervision Course participant

“Therapy has helped to organize my feelings about my life choices, and with continued sessions, I hope to know which path to take with my life.”
