Brian is richly grounded in contemporary psychodynamic practice.
“Brian’s help is sought when behavioral approaches fail. Whether for anxious/depressive/compulsive symptoms, relational or sexual issues, or a sense of fragmenting, or inner emptiness—or to make other life transformations. He works with skill & sensitivity to help patients catalyze change, open to new possibilities—and simultaneously find acceptance for themselves where they are—as they are. This is facilitated by deep therapeutic listening, & fostering insight into unconscious conflicts, unwanted patterns, & areas of stuckness—that sabotage even our best intentions to change or become happy—to be more real or feel more alive SM,TM

There is much talk these days about the power of being vulnerable as popularized by transformative figures such as Brené Brown. I believe it is important work to unearth what activates our vulnerability, shame, and fear, but what deeply excites me is what may happen beyond these revelations. What do we do next, armed with knowledge of our metaphorical Achilles' heel? How do we move forward with courage, optimism, fortitude, and resolve? This is where I bring a robust skill set and personal strengths to the table to work alongside you on your healing path.

Psychodynamic Therapists

Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?

Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.

How long does psychodynamic therapy last?

Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.

Does psychodynamic therapy work?

Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.

What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?

Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
