Psychodynamic Therapy
Uncover the unconscious patterns shaping your present.
What Is Psychodynamic Therapy?
Rooted in psychoanalytic theory, Psychodynamic Therapy explores how unconscious thoughts, early life experiences, and past relationships continue to influence your feelings and behavior today. Rather than focusing only on present symptoms, this approach helps you understand the deeper "why" behind recurring struggles — often bringing lasting insight and change.
How It Works
Sessions are typically less structured than CBT, allowing space for open reflection. Your therapist will help you notice patterns — in your relationships, your reactions, and even within the therapeutic relationship itself — that connect back to earlier experiences. Over time, this insight helps loosen the grip of old patterns that no longer serve you.

What to Expect
Psychodynamic therapy is often longer-term, allowing trust and insight to build gradually. Sessions feel exploratory and reflective, with your therapist offering observations and gentle interpretations along the way.
