You are in search of healing for your soul. Perhaps life is far from what you imagined it would be, and you need help finding yourself again. Heartbreaking life events have left you questioning who you are and what you value. You've tried numbing or distracting yourself from your pain, avoiding thinking about it, and outright denying it exists- yet none of it has worked. You feel ready to try something different. My clients often value self-growth, truth, insight, and are deep thinkers. They are looking for someone to walk with them and help them reckon with the fearful, unknown parts of themselves and desire to become whole.

Hello, my name is Shannon Squillante, LMFT 98938. I have a humanistic approach to therapy, working to understand the individual and how they have learned to interact with others in ways that no longer serve them- and work to undo those ways to provide the individual with more freedom and choice in their actions, which I believe can lead to healing. Understanding where we come from and the impact that it has had on us is vital to growing those parts that were stunted and creating reparative moments through relationships to work towards acceptance.

While clients report concerns about depression, anxiety, addictions, relationships, etc., they are often laboring under the impact of past and/or present dysfunctional relationships. These hurts and difficulties give rise to symptoms that provoke seeking help and relief. By courageously exploring these relationships, understanding their thoughts and emotions, my clients often find new freedom to live loving and purposeful lives. I have been helping adults, teens and couples find increasing freedom for over 30 years.

Psychoanalytic Therapists

Does psychoanalytic therapy work?

Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?

Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?

Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?

Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
