PSYCHODYNAMIC THERAPY

Psychodynamic therapy is a form of talk therapy that explores how your past experiences shape your present life. It’s based on the idea that many emotional difficulties come from hidden feelings or conflicts from earlier times. In sessions, you talk about thoughts and memories, and the therapist helps you understand patterns in your feelings and behavior. Over time, this understanding can bring relief and insight.

This therapy can help with things like anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues. It helps you identify repeated patterns in how you feel and act​. By talking in depth with your therapist, you may discover the root causes of these problems. As you gain insight, you often feel more in control and better able to cope day to day.

Psychodynamic therapy is usually longer-term. Many people work with a therapist for several months or even a year or two​. The exact length depends on each person’s needs and issues. We’ll discuss a plan based on your goals, and you can adjust it as you go – progress often comes step by step over time.

It’s for anyone who wants to understand themselves better. If you’ve been dealing with ongoing issues like constant worry, sadness, or recurring conflicts, this therapy can help. It’s especially useful when you want to explore the reasons behind your feelings and behaviors. Many who try other methods find psychodynamic therapy helps fill in the gaps. Our therapists can discuss your situation and help decide if it’s the right fit for you​.

First we will meet to discuss your situation, assess your needs for treatment, and see whether you have found the right therapist here. If you decide to have psychotherapy and you and your therapist feel that the fit is good, you will be given times for the session, and a regular time that is yours will be worked out soon. If it is impossible to come to therapist’s office, teletherapy may be offered with your informed consent. If you prefer a different approach, we will provide a referral.
