Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MSW, PPSC
Temecula, CA 92592
You work hard, you try to do the right thing, and yet somehow it never feels like enough. You’re constantly putting other people’s needs before your own—at work, at home, in your relationships—and it’s left you feeling anxious, drained, and disconnected from yourself. Maybe you’re a new mom, silently struggling while trying to hold everything together. Or a high-achieving professional who looks like they’ve got it all figured out, but inside, you feel like you’re barely keeping it together. Or maybe you keep finding yourself in one-sided relationships—giving more than you get, hoping they’ll change.

Men's Issues - Dr. Dean
Psychologist, PsyD, QME, Author
Temecula, CA 92590
My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model.
My goal for each man I work with is to provide hope and support while facilitating the recovery process. This usually requires us to dig deep and figure out why we engage in destructive behaviors. It also requires us to develop a treatment plan that specifically targets the maladaptive behaviors and reduces the chance of relapse.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
