We often ignore our "inconvenient" feelings like anger, sadness and frustration. But those feelings act "behind the scenes," sometimes compelling us to behave and react in ways that make our lives feel worse, not better.

 

Successful psychodynamic therapy for individuals and couples, first attends to the client's most critical concerns. Therapy then orients the client or couple toward appreciating those behind-the-scenes thoughts and feelings which contribute to long term emotional, perceptual and relational patterns. Opportunity, insight, and new emotional experiences can lead to acceptance, healing and change.

 

Psychodynamic treatment is useful for:

• treating anxiety and depression

• recovering from trauma, loss and infidelity

• improving communication and addressing conflict

• working through intimacy problems 

• identifying personality traits and patterns

• exploring sexuality and gender identity

• attending to substance misuse and eating disorders

• understanding psychosomatic illness and body dysmorphia

• enhancing creativity and productivity

​

Psychodynamic treatment is usually undertaken 1-2 times per week depending on client need. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this option further.
