Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy explores how your past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns shape how you feel and behave today. It's a deeper approach that gets at root causes rather than surface symptoms.
Some patterns do not make sense until you trace them back far enough. The relationship dynamic that keeps repeating. The reaction that feels bigger than the moment calls for. The sense that something underneath is driving choices you cannot fully explain. Psychodynamic therapy is built to actually find that thread.
What This Looks Like
We look at patterns in your relationships, recurring themes across different periods of your life, and the beliefs about yourself and other people that were shaped early and have been running quietly ever since. Sessions are less structured than CBT. We follow what actually comes up for you, notice patterns together as they surface, and connect earlier experiences to what you are struggling with now. It takes longer than symptom focused approaches, but it tends to get at what is actually generating the pattern rather than just managing it session to session.
Who This Is For
This approach fits well if you keep ending up in the same relationship dynamic no matter who you are with, if you carry a chronic sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction that is hard to pin to anything specific, or if your own reactions sometimes confuse you as much as they affect the people around you. It is also effective for personality level patterns and for people who want more than symptom relief. People who actually want to understand themselves at a deeper level, not just feel better this week.
