Psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy
The psychoanalytic approach to psychotherapy provides people with a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental space in which they are listened to closely, carefully, and deeply in the context of a relationship of emotional and intellectual attunement. It offers people the opportunity to explore their life stories and to examine the relationship of those stories to how they are living in the present and to what they desire for the future. In a safe and trusting relationship, one has the opportunity to explore deeper meanings of common problems such as anxiety, depression, sexual conflicts, interpersonal issues, and self-esteem struggles. Linking the past with the present makes it possible for an individual to learn what they don't yet know about their unconscious experience and enables people to ultimately understand themselves better, with the goal of leading richer, fuller, and more creative lives.
