Can psychoanalytic therapy help me? 

 

 

 

Psychoanalytic therapy is not formulaic, and there are no outcome guarantees.  However, I believe in its efficacy, because it addresses your very specific needs and problems. The therapeutic relationship we develop will allow us to work collaboratively.  We will find answers together.  The more committed you are, the more change you will experience.

 

 

 

As a result, analytic therapy is very effective for many types of personal concerns that include: depression, anxiety and phobias; anger and rage; feelings of emptiness; marital, parenting and relationship difficulties; trauma and post traumatic stress disorder; chronic illness; marital and child abuse; substance abuse; existential issues and personal meaning concerns; vocational issues; phase of life issues like marriage, divorce, childbirth, adolescence, midlife and end of life and grief concerns.  Psychoanalytic therapy is also helpful where sexuality and gender issues are concerned.  Psychoanalysis is extremely beneficial for artists, writers, psychotherapists and everyone who wants to live more creatively.
