Understand your past to shape your future.
If you find yourself caught in patterns that don't serve you—whether in relationships, work, or self-esteem—it's natural to wonder why. These recurring challenges often have deep roots, and unearthing their origins can be the first step toward meaningful change.
What is Psychodynamic Therapy?
Psychodynamic therapy is an evidence-based approach rooted in the principles of psychoanalysis. It operates on the understanding that our unconscious mind—shaped by past experiences—profoundly influences our present behaviors and emotions. By bringing these unconscious patterns to light, psychodynamic therapy helps you gain insight into the "why" behind your feelings and actions. This self-awareness can be transformative, paving the way for healthier relationships and a more authentic self.
What Can Psychodynamic Therapy Help With?
Psychodynamic therapy is effective in addressing a variety of concerns, including:
Anxiety and stress: Understanding underlying fears and tensions.
Depression: Exploring root causes of persistent sadness or emptiness.
Relationship difficulties: Identifying patterns that hinder connections.
Self-esteem issues: Uncovering and reshaping negative self-perceptions.
Unresolved trauma: Processing past experiences impacting current well-being.
How Does Psychodynamic Therapy Work?
In a safe and supportive environment, you'll engage in open-ended conversations with your therapist, delving into your thoughts, emotions, and memories. This exploration aims to uncover unconscious patterns and unresolved conflicts. As these insights emerge, you'll begin to see how past experiences shape your present, empowering you to make conscious choices that align with your true self.
