Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

What is Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy?

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is a profound and transformative therapeutic approach that explores the deeper layers of the mind. Rooted in the idea that our unconscious thoughts, emotions, and past experiences shape our present lives, psychoanalytic psychotherapy helps individuals gain deeper self-awareness and lasting change. Unlike short-term, solution-focused therapies, psychoanalysis seeks to uncover the underlying causes of emotional distress in addition to treating symptoms. Through open-ended conversation in a safe and nonjudgmental space, psychoanalytic therapy allows you to explore recurring patterns, unresolved conflicts, and unconscious motivations. By bringing these hidden dynamics into awareness, you can gain clarity, experience emotional relief, and develop a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

How Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Works

In psychoanalysis, we meet regularly—often once or more per week—to engage in an open-ended dialogue. Rather than offering quick fixes, this work is a gradual process of self-exploration, where we uncover deeper truths that have shaped your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.Over time, this approach can help you navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, and feelings of emptiness or stagnation. Whether you feel stuck in repeating patterns, struggle with self-doubt, or simply seek a deeper understanding of yourself, psychoanalysis offers a unique opportunity for profound personal growth.

If you are interested in exploring this journey, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation.

Feeling real is more than existing; it is finding a way to exist as oneself, and to relate to objects as oneself, and to have a self into which to retreat for relaxation.
