Life is full of stress and difficult situations. It probably hasn't been an easy journey for you. Most days you may feel a weight on you, preventing you from doing things you enjoy, or even from just getting out of bed in the morning. Maybe it's become difficult to cope with everything going on in the world today. If you’ve ever felt ashamed of who you are or scared about what tomorrow brings, you’re not alone.

Most of the clients I work with come to me with concerns around anxiety, grief, depression, postpartum stress, and life transitions. I find that most of my clients benefit from having a supportive therapist who builds strong trust from the first session in order to explore the root causes of their problems. Through this trusting therapeutic relationship, my clients develop the confidence and skills the need to problem-solve and live the life they want.

Taking time out for yourself is often an overwhelming task. Getting help isn’t easy. I know. I’ve been there. And I know, this is an important step. Sometimes in life we go through painful experiences. We usually try our best to work though that pain alone. Maybe we even have close friends and family who we confide in…but we still may feel alone, disconnected, or misunderstood. We are not designed to heal from pain and emotional injury by ourselves - alone. Having attempted that myself, I managed to only compound that loneliness and pain. Ultimately, professional guidance helped lead my healing. I think I can help lead yours.

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.
