Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

Unlike some treatment approaches that focus primarily on the elimination of troubling symptoms, psychodynamic/psychoanalytic treatment also aims to help an individual to know him or herself more deeply.

An underlying assumption of psychoanalytic thinking is the belief that the more self-awareness we have, including an awareness of our often less conscious motivations, the better our chances are for living a rich and satisfying life. Put another way, psychoanalysts believe that knowing oneself more deeply and authentically will have many positive effects on overall health and mental health, well beyond symptom relief.
